✨ gnutls_pkcs7_export2 ✨

okay bestie, so this one lives in the gnutls manual (that's the actual manual name, we're just vibing with it 💖) and it's giving "let me yeet your PKCS7 structure out into the world in a real file format." Obsessed.

🌸 NAME 🌸

gnutls_pkcs7_export2 — it's an API function, bestie. That's literally the whole name. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <gnutls/pkcs7.h>

int gnutls_pkcs7_export2(gnutls_pkcs7_t pkcs7, gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t
format, gnutls_datum_t * out);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • gnutls_pkcs7_t pkcs7 — the pkcs7 type. yeah. it's just... the pkcs7 thing. the star of the show 🫶
  • gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t format — the format of your output params, and it has to be one of PEM or DER. pick one, you can't have both, sorry babe 😭
  • gnutls_datum_t * out — will contain a structure, PEM or DER encoded. it gets filled in for you, main character behaviour honestly 👑

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so this function will export the pkcs7 structure to DER or PEM format. slay. that's the whole job and it does it flawlessly ✨

the output buffer? allocated using gnutls_malloc(). noted. remember that when you're freeing it, iykyk 💀

and if the structure is PEM encoded, it will have a header of "BEGIN PKCS7". iconic header text, no cap. 🎀

🌈 RETURNS 🌈

on success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned — we love a zero, we love a clean win 🥳 — otherwise you get a negative error value. it's giving "not today." 😭

⭐ SINCE ⭐

3.1.3 — old money, been around forever, still eating 💅
