✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_mac_get_id — bestie, this is literally just an API function that turns a MAC algorithm name into its id 💖

It lives in the gnutls manual, and yeah, we're doing the whole page together, so buckle up 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

gnutls_mac_algorithm_t gnutls_mac_get_id(const char * name);

That's the whole thing, no cap. One include, one function, one argument 🦋

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • const char * name — the name of a MAC algorithm, as a lil string. That's it, that's the assignment 💅

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the tea: you hand it a string, and it converts that string into a gnutls_mac_algorithm_t value for you ✨

And the way it matches names? case insensitive. So like, go off with your capitalisation, it genuinely does not care. Uppercase, lowercase, whatever vibe you're feeling — it's giving equal treatment, periodt 👑

🌈 RETURNS 🌈

  • 🫶 A gnutls_mac_algorithm_t id of the MAC algorithm string you passed in.
  • 😭 Or, if it doesn't work out, GNUTLS_MAC_UNKNOWN. That's the failure state, bestie. Not a vibe, but it happens.

🐛 REPORTING BUGS 🐛

Found a bug? Not me gatekeeping that info — go tell the gnutls girlies directly:

They want to hear from you, fr fr 🫶
