💖 gnutls_privkey_import_x509_raw(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the gnutls manual, and specifically to the page for gnutls_privkey_import_x509_raw. this is the glow-up moment where your raw private key data becomes an actual abstract gnutls_privkey_t. it's giving ✨main character energy✨ for keys. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

gnutls_privkey_import_x509_raw — an API function, bestie. that's the whole name, no notes. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <gnutls/abstract.h>

int gnutls_privkey_import_x509_raw(gnutls_privkey_t pkey, const
gnutls_datum_t * data, gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t format, const char *
password, unsigned int flags);

yep, that's the whole signature, copy it exactly, don't freestyle it. 🙈

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • gnutls_privkey_t pkey — the private key. that's the glow-up target, the one getting imported into. 👑
  • const gnutls_datum_t * data — the private key data that's getting imported. the raw material, the before picture. 💜
  • gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t format — the format of the private key. so we know how to read it, iykyk. 🌈
  • const char * password — a password. it's optional, so no pressure if there isn't one. 🍓
  • unsigned int flags — an ORed sequence of gnutls_pkcs_encrypt_flags_t. yes, ORed, as in you smush them together with |. ✨

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so the way that this function works: it imports the given private key into the abstract gnutls_privkey_t type. literally just ✨transformation✨.

The supported formats are basic unencrypted key, PKCS8, PKCS12, TSS2, and the openssl format. so you've got options, bestie, and they all slay in their own way. 🔥

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value. so if you see 0, you ate. if you see a negative number, something's not vibing — go check it. 😭

🧚 SINCE 🧚

3.1.0 — she's been iconic since way back. periodt. 💖
