💖 gnutls_pkcs7_print_signature_info(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in the gnutls manual (yes, that gnutls) and it's literally just "make this PKCS7 signature info look cute for a human to read". we love a glow-up function. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

gnutls_pkcs7_print_signature_info — an API function that pretty-prints your PKCS7 signature info 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <gnutls/pkcs7.h>

int gnutls_pkcs7_print_signature_info(gnutls_pkcs7_signature_info_st *
info, gnutls_certificate_print_formats_t format, gnutls_datum_t * out);

like yes, that's the whole vibe. three args, one int. slay. 💅

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • gnutls_pkcs7_signature_info_st * info — the PKCS7 signature info struct you want printed, bestie. this is the main character of the operation. 👑
  • gnutls_certificate_print_formats_t format — tells the function which format to use. pick your aesthetic. 🌈
  • gnutls_datum_t * out — a newly allocated datum holding a null-terminated string. it's fresh, it's new, it's yours. 🫶

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so basically this function will pretty print a PKCS 7 signature info structure, and it's suitable for display to a human — meaning it's not giving raw bytes energy, it's giving "here's something your eyeballs can actually read" energy. 😭

rn the supported formats are GNUTLS_CRT_PRINT_FULL and GNUTLS_CRT_PRINT_COMPACT. that's it. those two. no cap. 🔥

okay important bestie: the output out needs to be deallocated using gnutls_free(). do not forget this. leaking memory is not the vibe. 💀

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

on success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned 🎉 — otherwise you get a negative error value, which is the function's way of saying "no ❤️".

🧚 SINCE 🧚

3.6.14 — she's been here since 3.6.14, iconic behavior honestly.
