✨ gnutls_pkcs11_privkey_get_info ✨

okay so bestie, this one lives in the gnutls manual, section 3, and it's literally the glow-up guide for peeking at your PKCS 11 private key's lore 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

gnutls_pkcs11_privkey_get_info — an API function, no cap

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <gnutls/pkcs11.h>

int gnutls_pkcs11_privkey_get_info(gnutls_pkcs11_privkey_t pkey,
gnutls_pkcs11_obj_info_t itype, void * output, size_t * output_size);

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • gnutls_pkcs11_privkey_t pkey — bestie this one should contain a gnutls_pkcs11_privkey_t type, like that's its whole job
  • gnutls_pkcs11_obj_info_t itype — says which type of information you're asking for, main character decision fr
  • void * output — the spot where the output gets stored, it's giving "put the tea here"
  • size_t * output_size — holds the max size of the output on the way in, and then gets overwritten with the actual size. so it's a glow-up in place, iconic 💖

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

So this function returns info about the PKCS 11 private key — think the label, the id, and also the token information about where the key is stored 🫶

And listen: when the output is text, it returns a null terminated string, even though output_size contains the size of the actual data only. yes, both. that's just the vibe, iykyk ✨

💜 RETURNS 💜

GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (that's 0) on success, or a negative error code if something went wrong 😭
