💖 gnutls_pubkey_get_pk_algorithm 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the gnutls manual pages, and today's main character is gnutls_pubkey_get_pk_algorithm — yes it's an API function, yes it's iconic, and yes we're gonna get you fluent in it. pull up a chair, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's go.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <gnutls/abstract.h>

int gnutls_pubkey_get_pk_algorithm(gnutls_pubkey_t key, unsigned int *
bits);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • gnutls_pubkey_t key — this one should contain a gnutls_pubkey_t type. like, that's its whole job. it's the public key we're interrogating, respectfully. 🔍
  • unsigned int * bits — if you set this, it will return the number of bits of the parameters. and plot twist: it may be NULL, so if you truly do not care about bits, you can just pass NULL and move on with your life. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So what does this function do? It will return the public key algorithm</> of a public key — and if possible, it will also hand you a number of bits that indicates the security parameter of the key. it's giving "tell me who you are and how strong you are" energy. no cap. 👑

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

On success you get a member of the gnutls_pk_algorithm_t enumeration — slay. On error you get a negative error code, which is the universe's way of saying "nah". 😭

🦋 SINCE 🦋

2.12.0 — this one's been around for a minute, fr fr. vintage but make it functional. ✨
