💖 gnutls_pubkey_import_pkcs11(3) — the gnutls manual, bestie edition 💖

okay so picture this: you're deep in the gnutls manual (yes, that gnutls) and you've stumbled onto gnutls_pubkey_import_pkcs11. she's a little API function, she's iconic, and she's about to hand you a public key like it's a friendship bracelet. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_pubkey_import_pkcs11 — API function. that's it, that's the name, she's not doing a whole monologue 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/abstract.h>

int gnutls_pubkey_import_pkcs11(gnutls_pubkey_t key, gnutls_pkcs11_obj_t
obj, unsigned int flags);

look at her. three little args, one big job. slay 🦋

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • gnutls_pubkey_t key — the public key. this is the main character, the one we're filling in 💖
  • gnutls_pkcs11_obj_t obj — the parameters that are gonna get imported. the source material, the inspo, the muse ✨
  • unsigned int flags — should be zero. that's the whole assignment, bestie. zero. nothing else. don't be creative here 🚫

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so what does she do? she imports a public key from a pkcs11 key. yep, that's the vibe.

this function will import the given public key into the abstract gnutls_pubkey_t type. so you've got a pkcs11 key over there living her life, and you're like "hey, come be an abstract gnutls_pubkey_t with me," and she does. lowkey iconic behaviour ngl 🔥

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

on success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned. otherwise you get a negative error value, which is the universe's way of saying "not today, babe" 😭

🎀 SINCE 🎀

2.12.0 — she's been around since then, so she's basically a legacy queen at this point 💜
