int gnutls_pubkey_encrypt_data(gnutls_pubkey_t key, unsigned int flags,
const gnutls_datum_t * plaintext, gnutls_datum_t * ciphertext);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • gnutls_pubkey_t key — this one holds the public key 🔑 like, it is the public key, it's the whole vibe
  • unsigned int flags — bestie, should be 0 for now. that's it. that's the whole story 🙈
  • const gnutls_datum_t * plaintext — the data you wanna encrypt 📝
  • gnutls_datum_t * ciphertext — this is where the encrypted data ends up ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this function will encrypt the given data, using the public key. That's the main character move of the whole page, fr fr.

On success, the ciphertext will be allocated using gnutls_malloc(). noted. that's your allocation, so act accordingly 👑
