✨ gnutls_pubkey_import_ecc_raw ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the gnutls corner of the manual — this one's a little function called gnutls_pubkey_import_ecc_raw, and it's honestly giving "tiny API, big main character energy" 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

gnutls_pubkey_import_ecc_raw — an API function 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <gnutls/abstract.h>

int gnutls_pubkey_import_ecc_raw(gnutls_pubkey_t key, gnutls_ecc_curve_t
curve, const gnutls_datum_t * x, const gnutls_datum_t * y);

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • gnutls_pubkey_t key — the structure where the parsed key is gonna live. it's the lil storage unit for your key, periodt ✨
  • gnutls_ecc_curve_t curve — holds the curve 🌈
  • const gnutls_datum_t * x — holds the x-coordinate 🎀
  • const gnutls_datum_t * y — holds the y-coordinate 🎀

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so the way this works: this function will convert the given elliptic curve parameters into a gnutls_pubkey_t. the output gets stored in key 💫

and here's the lil plot twist for EdDSA curves: in those, the y parameter should be NULL and the x parameter must be the value in the native format for the curve. no cap, that's just how it is 🙈

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

on success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned 🫶 otherwise you get a negative error value (sad girl hours 😭).

🕰️ SINCE 🕰️

3.0 — an icon from way back, we stan a legacy queen 👑
