💖 gnutls_pubkey_export_ecc_x962 — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is a page from the gnutls manual (that's the TLS/GnuTLS library manual, if you're new here, hi, welcome 🫶) and it's all about one little API function called gnutls_pubkey_export_ecc_x962. yes the name is a mouthful. no we are not renaming it. periodt.

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_pubkey_export_ecc_x962 — it's an API function 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

like, the actual shape of it, no cap:

#include <gnutls/abstract.h>

int gnutls_pubkey_export_ecc_x962(gnutls_pubkey_t key, gnutls_datum_t *
parameters, gnutls_datum_t * ecpoint);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • gnutls_pubkey_t key — this one holds the public key. it's the star of the show, the main character, the key we're exporting from 👑
  • gnutls_datum_t * parameters — this is where the DER encoding of an ANSI X9.62 parameters goes. yes, DER. yes, ANSI X9.62. iykyk 💜
  • gnutls_datum_t * ecpoint — and this one gets the DER encoding of ANSI X9.62 ECPoint. it's giving coordinates, it's giving curve point, it's giving slay ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically, this function will export the ECC public key's parameters that it finds in the given certificate. like, it goes digging through the cert and pulls the ECC param energy right out 💅

and the tea is: the new parameters get allocated using gnutls_malloc() and then stored in the appropriate datum. so yeah, memory's being handed to you, bestie — don't forget that's yours to deal with 🫶

🌈 RETURNS 🌈

  • GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS when everything went great, iconic, no notes ⭐
  • otherwise, a negative error code. and yeah, negative = not the vibe, something went wrong 😭

💫 SINCE 💫
