✨ gnutls_mac_get_nonce_size ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the gnutls manual pages, and today's main character is gnutls_mac_get_nonce_size — an API function 💅 this one lives in the gnutls manual, and she's here to tell you how big a MAC's nonce is. no cap, that's the whole job. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

like, here's how you summon her:

#include <gnutls/crypto.h>

size_t gnutls_mac_get_nonce_size(gnutls_mac_algorithm_t algorithm);

she takes one arg and hands you back a size_t. cute, simple, iconic ✨

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • gnutls_mac_algorithm_t algorithm — bestie, this is an encryption algorithm. that's it, that's the whole parameter 🦋

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so basically: she returns the size of the nonce used by the MAC in TLS. that's the tea ☕ no side quests, no drama, just the nonce size. periodt 👑

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

the length (in bytes, obvs) of the given MAC nonce size — or 0. yeah, zero is a possible answer, don't come for her 🙈

🕰️ SINCE 🕰️

she's been around since 3.2.0, an elder statesman of the API fr fr 👑
