✨ gnutls_oid_to_digest ✨

ok bestie so this is a page from the gnutls manual — the gnutls_oid_to_digest(3) one 💅 it's a lil function that takes an OID (yes, as a string, we'll get there) and tells you which digest algorithm it is. that's the whole vibe. let's go 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

gnutls_oid_to_digest — literally just an API function, no cap 🫶

💖 SYNOPSIS 💖

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

gnutls_digest_algorithm_t gnutls_oid_to_digest(const char * oid);

like. that's it. that's the function. gorgeous 😌

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • const char * oid — it's an object identifier. that's it, that's the arg. you hand it a string that's an OID and it does its lil thing ✨

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so the way this works is: you give it a textual object identifier (like, the OID written out as text), and it converts that into a gnutls_digest_algorithm_t value for you. that's the conversion. that's the whole plot 🍓

ngl it's giving "tiny translator between two worlds" and honestly? iconic. 💜

🌈 RETURNS 🌈

it hands back a gnutls_digest_algorithm_t id — specifically the id of the digest algorithm you asked about 👑

⚠️ and if it can't figure it out? you get GNUTLS_DIG_UNKNOWN on failure. that's the "bestie i have no idea what this is" answer 🙈

⭐ SINCE ⭐

3.4.3 — so it's been around a minute, it's not new new. respect the elders 💅
