✨ gnutls_pk_get_id — the "who dis?" function ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the gnutls manual page for gnutls_pk_get_id(3). yes it's a mouthful, no you don't have to say it out loud. let's go 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

gnutls_pk_get_id — API function 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

gnutls_pk_algorithm_t gnutls_pk_get_id(const char * name);

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • const char * name — a string holding a public key algorithm name. that's it, that's the whole vibe. just the name, queen.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what does this actually do? it takes a string and converts it into a gnutls_pk_algorithm_t value. glow up for your data types 💫

the way the names are compared is case insensitive, so you don't have to worry about your shift key betraying you. fr fr.

for example:

gnutls_pk_get_id("RSA")

will return GNUTLS_PK_RSA. iconic. ate. no crumbs. 🍓

👑 RETURNS 👑

it hands you back a gnutls_pk_algorithm_t id of the public key algorithm string you asked about, or — and this is the sad part 😭 — GNUTLS_PK_UNKNOWN if things go wrong. so like, check for that, bestie. always check. 🙈

⭐ SINCE ⭐

2.6.0 — she's been around a while, lowkey a legend 🧚
