💖 gnutls_session_get_random(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in the gnutls manual — it's the page for gnutls_session_get_random, and it's honestly so chill. no cap. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

gnutls_session_get_random — API function 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

void gnutls_session_get_random(gnutls_session_t session, gnutls_datum_t
* client, gnutls_datum_t * server);

like yes, it's a void function, she returns nothing, she just hands you the pointers. main character energy honestly. 💅

⭐ ARGUMENTS ⭐

  • gnutls_session_t session — this is a gnutls_session_t type. the whole vibe lives here, she's the session you're asking about 🫶
  • gnutls_datum_t * client — the client part of the random 🌸
  • gnutls_datum_t * server — the server part of the random 🌈

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so basically, this function returns pointers to the client and server random fields that get used in the TLS handshake. that's it. that's the whole job. ✨

⚠️ the pointers are NOT to be modified or deallocated. do not touch. do not free. do not pass go. seriously, bestie, they're not yours to own, you're just borrowing the view 💀

and if a client random value has not yet been established, the output will be garbage. literally garbage. not a cute "oops empty" situation — actual uninitialised nonsense. so check that the handshake actually happened before you go reading this, iykyk 😭

🧚 SINCE 🧚
