gnutls_pkcs11_set_token_function(3)

πŸ’– gnutls_pkcs11_set_token_function(3) β€” the gnutls manual, but make it make sense πŸ’–

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're about to talk about PKCS 11 tokens and honestly? this one is short and sweet. it's from the gnutls manual pages, and it's giving "small function, big responsibility." πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_pkcs11_set_token_function β€” literally just an API function, no cap πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/pkcs11.h>

void gnutls_pkcs11_set_token_function(gnutls_pkcs11_token_callback_t fn,
void * userdata);

she's a void girlie, she returns nothing, she just does the thing. iconic behaviour fr fr 🫢


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • gnutls_pkcs11_token_callback_t fn β€” the token callback. this is your girl. the actual function that gets called. no notes. ✨
  • void * userdata β€” data to be supplied to callback. it's your little care package of whatever you wanna hand over to fn when it gets called. it's giving "bring snacks to the function." πŸ“

πŸ‘‘ DESCRIPTION πŸ‘‘

so here's the vibe check: this function sets a callback function that gets used when a token needs to be inserted to continue PKCS 11 operations. πŸ”₯

that's it. that's the whole thing. you're basically telling gnutls "hey, if a token is missing and we can't keep going, call this function, mmkay?" and then you get to be the main character who handles it. periodt. πŸ’œ


⭐ SINCE ⭐

2.12.0 β€” she's been around since 2.12.0, a true elder stateswoman of the API. respect your elders. 🌈
