✨ gnutls_mac_get_name(3) ✨

okay bestie, so this one lives in the gnutls manual, and it's literally the cutest little lookup function. it's an API function, and its whole job is turning a MAC algorithm value into a name you can actually read. 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

gnutls_mac_get_name — API function (yes that's the whole vibe, she's a name-getter 💅)

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

const char * gnutls_mac_get_name(gnutls_mac_algorithm_t algorithm);

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• gnutls_mac_algorithm_t algorithm — bestie this is a MAC algorithm. that's it, that's the whole argument, she takes one (1) MAC algorithm and nothing else 🫶

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Convert a gnutls_mac_algorithm_t value to a string. that's the entire plot. you hand her the enum, she hands you back the name, no cap. 🌈

---

👑 RETURNS 👑

a string that contains the name of the specified MAC algorithm, or NULL. so like… if she doesn't know it, you get NULL, and you should probably check for that fr fr 😭
