gnutls_ocsp_req_init(3)

πŸ’– gnutls_ocsp_req_init β€” like, the OCSP request origin story πŸ’–

okay bestie, so this one lives in the gnutls manual, section 3 (that's the library-functions girlies, iykyk). it's the little "hello world" moment before you go asking a certificate authority about a cert's vibe. let's get into it πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_ocsp_req_init β€” API function. that's it, that's the name, and honestly? iconic.


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/ocsp.h>

int gnutls_ocsp_req_init(gnutls_ocsp_req_t * req);

πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • gnutls_ocsp_req_t * req β€” a pointer to the type you wanna initialize, bestie. that's the little vessel your OCSP request is about to move into πŸ’…

πŸ’« DESCRIPTION πŸ’«

so this function will initialize an OCSP request structure. that's the whole thing. it's giving fresh start, clean slate, main character energy β€” you hand it the pointer, it sets the structure up, and now you have somewhere to put your request. no cap ✨


πŸ‘‘ RETURNS πŸ‘‘

on success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned. otherwise you get a negative error value β€” so like, if it's negative, something went sideways and you should go check 😭
