✨ gnutls_load_file(3) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the gnutls manual — yes, that gnutls, the 3.8.13 era, she's serving crypto realness 💅

💖 NAME 💖

gnutls_load_file — API function 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

int gnutls_load_file(const char * filename, gnutls_datum_t * data);

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • const char * filename — the name of the file to load, like literally just the path, that's it 🫶
  • gnutls_datum_t * data — where the file will be stored. it's the spot. the destination. the moment. ✨

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so this function will load a file into a datum. that's the whole vibe. 🌈

the data are zero terminated but the terminating null is not included in length — so don't come for the length, she's not counting the null, no cap. and the returned data are allocated using gnutls_malloc(). remember that. she's yours to free. 💀

⚠️ okay important one, listen up: note that this function is not designed for reading sensitive materials, such as private keys, on practical applications. when the reading fails in the middle, the partially loaded content might remain on memory. so like… bestie, do NOT be loading your private keys with this. the vibes are not it. 😭🔒

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

on success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned 🎉 otherwise an error code is returned. that's the deal. 🤝

since 3.1.0 — she's been around, she's an icon, she's a legend, she IS the moment 👑
