💖 gnutls_session_get_verify_cert_status — the vibe check for your certs 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the gnutls manual, and specifically to gnutls_session_get_verify_cert_status, which is an API function in the gnutls manual. yes she's a long name, yes she's worth it, let's go 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, this is the shape of her. no notes:

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

unsigned int gnutls_session_get_verify_cert_status(gnutls_session_t
session);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • gnutls_session_t session — bestie this is just a gnutls session. that's it. that's the whole argument. she's low maintenance fr 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so what does she actually do? she hands you back the status of the verification, but only when that verification was started by auto-verification — meaning it got kicked off by gnutls_session_set_verify_cert2() or gnutls_session_set_verify_cert(). that's the whole origin story 🦋

⚠️ important bestie: if no certificate verification ever occurred, the return value gets set to ((unsigned int)-1). so if you're staring at that value like 👁️👄👁️, that's what happened.

and the certificate verification status she gives you? it's the exact same one as in gnutls_certificate_verify_peers(). no cap, same status, same energy ✨

👑 RETURNS 👑

the certificate verification status. periodt 💅

⭐ SINCE ⭐

3.4.6 — she's been iconic since 3.4.6, iykyk 🌈
