💖 gnutls_pubkey_get_key_usage(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in the gnutls manual (section 3, the library-call section, iykyk) and it's genuinely so simple it's giving iconic minimalism. it's an API function. that's it. that's the vibe. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

gnutls_pubkey_get_key_usage — API function

no cap, that's the whole name section. we love a short intro. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <gnutls/abstract.h>

int gnutls_pubkey_get_key_usage(gnutls_pubkey_t key, unsigned int *
usage);

the way you just include <gnutls/abstract.h> and then the function is right there for you. obsessed. 🦋

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • gnutls_pubkey_t key — should contain a gnutls_pubkey_t type. yeah bestie, the param that holds the pubkey should hold the pubkey. ground-breaking, we know, but that's literally what it says. 🫶
  • unsigned int * usage — if you set it, it'll return the number of bits of the parameters (and yes, it may be NULL, so you can totally pass NULL if you're just vibing and don't care about the value).

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so basically this function will return the key usage of the public key. that's the whole plot. no subplot, no twist, just the key usage of the public key, handed to you. periodt. 👑

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

on success you get GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (which is 0, the good number, the slay number) — otherwise it hands you back a negative error value, which is the universe's way of saying "not today." 😭

🌈 SINCE 🌈

2.12.0 — this has been around since forever, it's a whole elder statesman of the API. respect. 💜
