gnutls_privkey_export_pkcs11(3)

✨ gnutls_privkey_export_pkcs11 ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the gnutls manual, section 3 🎀 this one's called gnutls_privkey_export_pkcs11 and it's literally the glow-up spell that turns your abstract private key into a PKCS#11 one 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/abstract.h>

int gnutls_privkey_export_pkcs11(gnutls_privkey_t pkey,
gnutls_pkcs11_privkey_t * key);

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe 🦋

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• gnutls_privkey_t pkey — the private key itself, the main character 👑
• gnutls_pkcs11_privkey_t * key — the spot where the exported key gets dropped off, aka the location for the key to be exported 💖

---

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

so basically this function converts the abstract private key you hand it into a gnutls_pkcs11_privkey_t type ✨

important bestie: the key must be of type GNUTLS_PRIVKEY_PKCS11. no cap. if it isn't, this whole thing is not gonna slay for you 😭

and the key that comes back in key? you must deinitialize it with gnutls_pkcs11_privkey_deinit(). it's giving "you broke it, you clean it up" 🧹 don't just leave it there, that's so not the move 🙈

---

🫶 RETURNS 🫶

on success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned 💚 otherwise you get a negative error value, which is the code equivalent of "it's not you, it's the parameters" 💀

3.4.0 — she's been iconic since day one, fr fr ⭐
