💖 gnutls_privkey_get_spki(3) — the gnutls manual, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, gather round, we're reading a gnutls man page together and honestly? it's short and it slays. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_privkey_get_spki — it's an API function, that's the whole vibe 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the summoning circle, copy it exactly, don't freestyle:

#include <gnutls/abstract.h>

int gnutls_privkey_get_spki(gnutls_privkey_t privkey, gnutls_x509_spki_t
spki, unsigned int flags);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • gnutls_privkey_t privkey — a public key of type gnutls_privkey_t. yes, it's a privkey holding a public key, we don't make the rules, we just pass it in 💅
  • gnutls_x509_spki_t spki — a SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure of type gnutls_privkey_spki_t. this is where the tea gets stored ✨
  • unsigned int flags — must be zero. not one, not two, ZERO. it's giving "no notes" 🚫

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does it do? this function will return the public key information if available. that's it, that's the whole plot 🫶

⚠️ real talk though: the provided spki must be initialized. don't come in here with an uninitialized struct, that's not the move, bestie. 😭

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

on success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned — iconic, flawless, no crumbs 👑

otherwise you get a negative error value. yeah. negative. it's giving "we need to talk" 💀
