💖 gnutls_pubkey_set_key_usage(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the gnutls manual, page for gnutls_pubkey_set_key_usage 🎀 this is the one where you tell a public key what it's allowed to do with its life. very main character, very "setting boundaries" energy. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_pubkey_set_key_usage — an API function 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <gnutls/abstract.h>

int gnutls_pubkey_set_key_usage(gnutls_pubkey_t key, unsigned int
usage);

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • gnutls_pubkey_t key — a certificate of type gnutls_x509_crt_t. yes girl, the docs literally say certificate, we're just reporting the vibe 🌸
  • unsigned int usage — a whole ORed sequence of the GNUTLS_KEY_* elements. stack 'em up with |, it's giving buffet 🍓

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so this function sets the key usage flags of the public key. that's it, that's the whole job, no cap. 🔥

and like, lowkey important: this is only useful if the key is going to be exported to a certificate or a certificate request. if you're not exporting, this whole thing is just you doing arts and crafts for nobody 💀 so keep that in mind bestie.

✨ RETURNS ✨

if it works? you get GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) 🎉 icon. ate. periodt.

if it doesn't? you get a negative error value 😭 rude, but at least it's honest.

✨ SINCE ✨

2.12.0 — she's been around a minute, a true veteran of the game 👑

✨ REPORTING BUGS ✨

found a bug? don't suffer in silence, tell the people 🫶
