💖 gnutls_privkey_set_flags(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the gnutls corner of the manual, this one's a lil function called gnutls_privkey_set_flags and it's genuinely so simple it's giving "one-line slay" energy ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

gnutls_privkey_set_flags — it's an API function, no cap 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <gnutls/abstract.h>

void gnutls_privkey_set_flags(gnutls_privkey_t key, unsigned int flags);

look at her. two args. returns nothing. icon behaviour fr fr 🎀

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • gnutls_privkey_t key — a key of type gnutls_privkey_t, aka the private key you're about to give a lil glow-up ✨
  • unsigned int flags — the flags, straight from the gnutls_privkey_flags list. pick your vibe, but pick from that list bestie 🫶

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so basically? this function sets flags for the private key you already have, after it's been generated. it's not a build-a-key situation, it's a customize-the-key-you-already-have situation 💅

and right now, the one thing it's actually useful for is GNUTLS_PRIVKEY_FLAG_EXPORT_COMPAT, which lets you export a "provable" private key in a backwards compatible way. that's the whole flex. that's it. obsessed tbh 🌈

⭐ SINCE ⭐

3.5.0 — so it's been around a minute, it's a classic 💖
