💖 gnutls_pkcs7_get_crt_count — the gnutls girlies' guide 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the gnutls manual, section 3, and today's main character is a lil function that just... counts certificates for you. no cap. let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_pkcs7_get_crt_count — it's an API function, and its whole vibe is counting. that's it. that's the job. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/pkcs7.h>

int gnutls_pkcs7_get_crt_count(gnutls_pkcs7_t pkcs7);

like, look at her. one include, one function, zero drama. 🎀

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • gnutls_pkcs7_t pkcs7 — bestie, this one should contain a gnutls_pkcs7_t type. that's the whole assignment. it's the thing you're counting the certs in, so pls make sure it's actually that type and not, like, a random void pointer you found on the floor. 🙈

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so what does she actually do?? this function will return the number of certificates in the PKCS7 or RFC2630 certificate set. that's it!! that's the tea!! you hand her a PKCS7 thing, she tells you how many certs are chilling inside it. lowkey the most useful girl in the whole header file. ⭐

🔥 RETURNS 🔥

  • on success, a positive number is returned (yay, certs!! 🎉)
  • otherwise, a negative error value (😭 not the vibe, go check your error handling bestie)
fr fr: negative means something went wrong, so don't just slap this in a for loop without checking. iykyk. 💀
