💖 gnutls_privkey_import_gost_raw(3) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the gnutls manual, page gnutls_privkey_import_gost_raw(3) — yes that's a whole mouthful, we're gonna get through it together, i promise 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_privkey_import_gost_raw — it's an API function, and it's giving "let me turn your raw GOST key bits into a real key object" 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/abstract.h>

int gnutls_privkey_import_gost_raw(gnutls_privkey_t key,
gnutls_ecc_curve_t curve, gnutls_digest_algorithm_t digest,
gnutls_gost_paramset_t paramset, const gnutls_datum_t * x, const
gnutls_datum_t * y, const gnutls_datum_t * k);

look at her. seven arguments. she's high maintenance but she's worth it ✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• gnutls_privkey_t key — the key, literally the main character here 👑
• gnutls_ecc_curve_t curve — holds the curve 🌀
• gnutls_digest_algorithm_t digest — holds the digest 🧚
• gnutls_gost_paramset_t paramset — holds the GOST parameter set ID 🍓
• const gnutls_datum_t * x — holds the x-coordinate, cute lil x 💜
• const gnutls_datum_t * y — holds the y-coordinate, her partner in crime 💜
• const gnutls_datum_t * k — holds the k (private key) 🤫 keep that one secret fr fr

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does she actually DO. this function will convert the given GOST private key's parameters to the native gnutls_privkey_t format 💖 the output gets stored in key — yes, that key, the one you passed in, she fills it in for you.

and about digest? bestie, it has to be one of GNUTLS_DIG_GOSR_94, GNUTLS_DIG_STREEBOG_256 or GNUTLS_DIG_STREEBOG_512. those three. no others. don't try it 🙈

and if paramset is set to GNUTLS_GOST_PARAMSET_UNKNOWN, a default one will be selected depending on digest — so she picks for you, no cap ✨

---

⚠️ NOTE ⚠️

parameters should be stored with least significant byte first. and listen — on version 3.6.3 big-endian format was used incorrectly. yes, incorrectly. we don't talk about 3.6.3. 💀

---

🌈 RETURNS 🌈

on success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned 🎉 otherwise you get a negative error value and honestly? vibe check failed 😭

---

⭐ SINCE ⭐

3.6.3 — she's been around, an icon, a legend 🎀
