💖 gnutls_pkcs12_export2(3) — the gnutls manual, bestie edition 💖

okay so you're here for gnutls_pkcs12_export2, a function in the gnutls manual, and honestly? she's a whole vibe. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_pkcs12_export2 — API function. yes bestie, that's the whole name, she's lowkey mysterious like that 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/pkcs12.h>

int gnutls_pkcs12_export2(gnutls_pkcs12_t pkcs12, gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t
format, gnutls_datum_t * out);

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • gnutls_pkcs12_t pkcs12 — a pkcs12 type, aka the little bundle of joy you're about to yeet out into the world ✨
  • gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t format — the format of the output params. it's giving one of PEM or DER, pick your fighter, no in-between 🫶
  • gnutls_datum_t * out — will contain a structure PEM or DER encoded. this is where the goods land, bestie 📦

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so basically: this function will export the pkcs12 structure to DER or PEM format. that's it, that's the job, and she does it flawlessly, periodt 👑

The output buffer is allocated using gnutls_malloc(). noting this fr fr — so you're gonna want to free it properly when you're done, iykyk.

If the structure is PEM encoded, it will have a header of "BEGIN PKCS12". iconic header, no cap 🌈

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

In case of failure a negative error code will be returned, and 0 on success. so like — negative means 😭, zero means 🥳. check it every time, don't be messy.

🎀 SINCE 🎀

3.1.3 — she's been around a minute, a true veteran of the codebase 💖
