✨ gnutls_oid_to_ecc_curve ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the gnutls manual, page three of gnutls_oid_to_ecc_curve(3). this one's a lil cutie — a whole API function whose entire job is translating OIDs into curve vibes. let's get into it 💅

NAME

gnutls_oid_to_ecc_curve — it's an API function, periodt.

SYNOPSIS

so first you gotta bring in the header, obviously:

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

and here's the signature, look at her:

gnutls_ecc_curve_t gnutls_oid_to_ecc_curve(const char * oid);

that's it. that's the whole function. so simple, so iconic.

ARGUMENTS

  • const char * oid — this is a curve's OID. like, the OID string for the curve you're asking about. hand it over and let her cook 🎀

RETURNS

she gives you back a gnutls_ecc_curve_t value — the one that corresponds to the OID you passed in. matching, slaying, the whole thing 💖

but if something's off? if the OID doesn't line up with anything? you get GNUTLS_ECC_CURVE_INVALID back. that's the error case, no cap. don't ignore her, she's telling you something 😭

SINCE</since>

this one's been around since 3.4.3. an elder. a legend. she was doing this before it was cool ✨

SEE ALSO

the full documentation for gnutls lives in a Texinfo manual. and if the /usr/share/doc/gnutls/ directory isn't giving what it's supposed to give (aka it doesn't have the HTML form), then just go here:

https://www.gnutls.org/manual/

ngl that's the whole page. short, sweet, and lowkey perfect for what it does 🌸

and that's a wrap on the gnutls 3.8.13 manual, page gnutls_oid_to_ecc_curve(3). mwah, take care of her 💜🦋
