✨ gnutls_privkey_export_x509(3) — the glow-up page ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the gnutls manual, page gnutls_privkey_export_x509(3). this is literally the API function that takes your abstract private key and hands you the classic x509 version. let's get into it 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

gnutls_privkey_export_x509 — API function. that's it, that's the name, she's iconic 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <gnutls/abstract.h>

int gnutls_privkey_export_x509(gnutls_privkey_t pkey,
gnutls_x509_privkey_t * key);

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • gnutls_privkey_t pkey — the private key, the main character of this whole operation 💅
  • gnutls_x509_privkey_t * key — where the exported key is gonna live. this is the location for the key to be exported 🫶

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so what's the vibe? this function converts the given abstract private key into a gnutls_x509_privkey_t type. glow-up complete ✨

but listen, there are rules, and we respect them:

  • the abstract key must be of type GNUTLS_PRIVKEY_X509. no exceptions, she's picky 😭
  • the input key must not be initialized. like, don't come in here with a pre-initialized key, that's not the move 🙈
  • the key that gets returned in key should be deinitialized using gnutls_x509_privkey_deinit(). yes, you have to clean up after yourself, that's the grown-up part 🧚

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

on success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (which is 0) is returned. otherwise you get a negative error value. not me getting a negative number back and knowing something went wrong 💀

💜 SINCE 💜

3.4.0 — she's been serving since then, no cap.
