✨ gnutls_pk_get_oid — the "what's your OID bestie" function ✨

okay so this is a page from the gnutls manual, and it's about one lil function that's genuinely so useful. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, let's go.

🌸 NAME 🌸

gnutls_pk_get_oid — API function. that's it, that's the name, no notes 💅

💖 SYNOPSIS 💖

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

const char * gnutls_pk_get_oid(gnutls_pk_algorithm_t algorithm);

like. one include. one function. so clean, so demure 🎀

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • gnutls_pk_algorithm_t algorithm — bestie this is a public key algorithm. that's the whole vibe. you hand it a public key algorithm and it does the thing.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what does it actually do? it converts a gnutls_pk_algorithm_t value into its object identifier string. that's the glow-up: you give it the enum, it gives you back the OID as a string. literally the translator of the crypto world 🧚

👑 RETURNS 👑

it returns a pointer to a string that contains the object identifier of the specified public key algorithm, or NULL. and yeah, NULL is a real possibility, so maybe check for it before you go around dereferencing things like a menace 🙈

⭐ SINCE ⭐

3.4.3 — been iconic since 3.4.3, no cap.
