💖 gnutls_pkcs11_obj_import_url(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in the gnutls manual, and it's literally the glow-up moment where a PKCS 11 URL becomes a whole object. no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_pkcs11_obj_import_url — the API function that pulls a PKCS 11 object into your vibes 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/pkcs11.h>

int gnutls_pkcs11_obj_import_url(gnutls_pkcs11_obj_t obj, const char *
url, unsigned int flags);

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • gnutls_pkcs11_obj_t obj — the structure that's gonna hold the object. it's giving "designated storage bestie". 🫶
  • const char * url — a PKCS 11 url identifying the key. yes the whole thing hinges on this url, it's the main character. 👑
  • unsigned int flags — or sequence of GNUTLS_PKCS11_OBJ_* flags. mix and match, it's your era. ✨

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what does this function DO? it will "import" a PKCS 11 URL identifying an object (e.g. certificate) into the gnutls_pkcs11_obj_t type. that's the whole arc. 🌈

and listen — this does not involve any parsing (such as X.509 or OpenPGP), because the gnutls_pkcs11_obj_t is format agnostic. it literally does not care what the format is, it's above all that. only data are transferred. that's it. periodt. 💅

if the flag GNUTLS_PKCS11_OBJ_FLAG_OVERWRITE_TRUSTMOD_EXT is specified, any certificate read will have its extensions overwritten by any stapled extensions in the trust module. yes, overwritten. the trust module said "i'm the blueprint now". 😭

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

on success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned 🎉 otherwise you get a negative error value, which is the "not me getting a negative value" moment. 💀

🕰️ SINCE 🕰️

2.12.0 — been iconic since way back, fr fr.
