💖 gnutls_pkcs7_init — from the gnutls manual, section 3 ✨

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're about to init a PKCS7 structure and honestly? it's giving glow-up energy 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

gnutls_pkcs7_init — and yes, it's an API function, no cap 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <gnutls/pkcs7.h>

int gnutls_pkcs7_init(gnutls_pkcs7_t * pkcs7);

like… it's right there. two lines. slay.

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • gnutls_pkcs7_t * pkcs7 — a pointer to the type that's gonna get initialized. that's it. that's the whole job. she's lowkey just here to be filled in 💅

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

so, what does this function do? it initializes a PKCS7 structure. iconic behavior fr fr.

and what's inside a PKCS7 structure, you ask? usually lists of X.509 Certificates and X.509 Certificate revocation lists. so basically it's a little certificate party in there 🎉🎀 — certs and their revocations, all vibing together.

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

  • on success → GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned. we love a zero. zero is the main character here 👑
  • otherwise → a negative error value. not the vibe, but it happens 😭
