💖 gnutls_privkey_get_seed 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the gnutls manual — specifically gnutls_privkey_get_seed(3) — and it's literally the function that spills the tea on how your private key was born. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_privkey_get_seed — API function. that's it, that's the name, she's simple and she knows it 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <gnutls/abstract.h>

int gnutls_privkey_get_seed(gnutls_privkey_t key,
gnutls_digest_algorithm_t * digest, void * seed, size_t * seed_size);

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • gnutls_privkey_t key — bestie, this one should contain a gnutls_privkey_t type. that's the whole vibe check.
  • gnutls_digest_algorithm_t * digest — if it's non-NULL, it will contain the digest algorithm used for key generation (if applicable). like, only if applicable, don't come for her otherwise 🙈
  • void * seed — the place where seed will be copied to. she's moving in, make room ✨
  • size_t * seed_size — originally holds the size of seed, and then it will be updated with the actual size. so she goes in as one thing and comes out as another — it's giving glow up, fr fr.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this function will return the seed that was used to generate the given private key. that's the whole point. the entire assignment.

and listen — that function will succeed only if the key was generated as a provable key. that's the catch. no provable key, no seed. periodt. 🔥

💜 RETURNS 💜

On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value. so like, 0 = slay, negative = not slay 😭

⭐ SINCE ⭐

3.5.0 — she's been here a minute, an icon, a legend 👑
