✨ gnutls_privkey_import_ecc_raw ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the gnutls manual, and today we're getting into gnutls_privkey_import_ecc_raw — the API function that lets you yeet some elliptic curve parameters straight into a native gnutls private key. no cap, it's giving "I already have the raw numbers, just take them." 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

gnutls_privkey_import_ecc_raw — literally an API function, that's it, that's the whole name 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <gnutls/abstract.h>

int gnutls_privkey_import_ecc_raw(gnutls_privkey_t key,
gnutls_ecc_curve_t curve, const gnutls_datum_t * x, const gnutls_datum_t
* y, const gnutls_datum_t * k);

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• gnutls_privkey_t key — bestie this is the key, the main character, the whole point 🫶
• gnutls_ecc_curve_t curve — holds the curve (iykyk, we're doing elliptic curves today)
• const gnutls_datum_t * x — holds the x-coordinate, like x marks the spot ✨
• const gnutls_datum_t * y — holds the y-coordinate, the other half of the moment
• const gnutls_datum_t * k — holds the k (private key) 👑 lowkey the most important one, keep it secret fr fr

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this function will convert the given elliptic curve parameters into the native gnutls_privkey_t format. the glow-up happens, and the output gets stored in key. periodt 💅

ok but listen — on EdDSA curves, the y parameter should be NULL, and the x and k parameters must be in the native format for the curve. no improvising, bestie, it has to be the native format. 🌈

---

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

on success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned. otherwise you get a negative error value and honestly? not the vibe. 😭

---

🎀 SINCE 🎀

3.0 — she's been here since 3.0, iconic behaviour honestly 👑
