GNUTLS_PKCS11_PRIVKEY_GET_PK_ALGORITHM(3)

💖 NAME 💖

gnutls_pkcs11_privkey_get_pk_algorithm — okay bestie, this is an API function from the gnutls manual, and it's the one that tells you what public key algorithm your private key is serving 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <gnutls/pkcs11.h>

int gnutls_pkcs11_privkey_get_pk_algorithm(gnutls_pkcs11_privkey_t key,
                                           unsigned int * bits);

Like, that's the whole vibe. One call, two args, no drama 🎀

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• gnutls_pkcs11_privkey_t key — this one "should contain a gnutls_pkcs11_privkey_t type". It's the private key you're interrogating, bestie, be nice to it 🫶
• unsigned int * bits — if bits is non null, it's gonna hold the size of the parameters' in bits. So like, the bit-size of the params, she's measuring 🔥

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So the way this works: this function will return the public key algorithm of a private key. That's it. That's the whole job. It looks at your private key and goes "oh okay, I know what you are" 👑

---

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

On success you get a member of the gnutls_pk_algorithm_t enumeration. Slay. ✨

But if something's off, you get a negative error code instead — no cap, check for that, don't just assume it worked 💀
