💖 gnutls_pkcs12_bag_init(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in the gnutls manual, section 3, and it's genuinely one of the cutest little setup functions you'll ever meet. it's giving "let me hand you an empty bag and you fill it with secrets" energy. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_pkcs12_bag_init — API function

like, that's the whole name. short, sweet, iconic. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <gnutls/pkcs12.h>

int gnutls_pkcs12_bag_init(gnutls_pkcs12_bag_t * bag);

copy that #include exactly, no cap, or the compiler WILL side-eye you. 😭

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • gnutls_pkcs12_bag_t * bag — a pointer to the type you want to get initialized. it's a pointer to the thing, so hand it over by address, bestie, not by value. 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so this function will initialize a PKCS12 bag structure. periodt. ✨

and what even goes in a PKCS12 bag, you ask? literally the good stuff:

  • private keys 🔑
  • lists of X.509 Certificates 📜
  • X.509 Certificate revocation lists 📋

so yeah, it's a little bag (a "bag", fr fr, that's the actual name) and it holds all the cert-adjacent treasures. main character energy for sure. 👑

✨ RETURNS ✨

on success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned. 🎉

otherwise? a negative error value. so like, vibe check your return value, always. if it's negative, something went sideways and you should go read the error. ngl. 🙈

✨ REPORTING BUGS ✨

found a bug? don't suffer in silence, bestie, report it to <bugs@gnutls.org>. they want to hear from you, fr.
