✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is gnutls_sec_param_to_symmetric_bits — an API function from the gnutls manual (yes, the gnutls_sec_param_to_symmetric_bits(3) one, that's her 💅). She tells you how many symmetric-cipher bits of strength line up with a given security parameter. it's giving "translator between two worlds" and honestly? iconic. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

unsigned int gnutls_sec_param_to_symmetric_bits(gnutls_sec_param_t
param);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • gnutls_sec_param_t param — is a security parameter. that's the input, bestie, that's the vibe you're converting from 💖

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

This function will return the number of bits that correspond to symmetric cipher strength for the given security parameter.

like... you hand her a security parameter, she hands you back the symmetric strength number. no drama, no side quests, just a clean little conversion. 🧚✨

👑 RETURNS 👑

The number of bits, or (0).

lowkey important: if there's nothing to give you, you get (0). not an error code, not a tantrum — just a zero. so check for it, bestie. 🫶
