💖 gnutls_session_set_ptr — bestie edition 💖

okay so this page lives in the gnutls manual (yes the crypto library, yes the one you keep typing wrong) and it's about one tiny little function that does one tiny little thing and honestly? iconic.

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_session_set_ptr — an API function, that's literally its whole job description 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

void gnutls_session_set_ptr(gnutls_session_t session, void * ptr);

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no return value, no drama, just vibes and a pointer. 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • gnutls_session_t session — bestie this is a gnutls_session_t type. it's the session. the main character of the operation. 🌟
  • void * ptr — and this? this is the user pointer. your pointer. your little guy. the thing you want to smuggle along for the ride. 🧳✨

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

so here's the tea, fr fr: this function sets — like, associates — the user-given pointer ptr to the session structure. that's the whole thing. you hand it a pointer, it goes "noted 💅" and sticks it onto the session.

and then later? you can get it back with gnutls_session_get_ptr(). it's giving coat check. it's giving "here's my bag, give me the little ticket". 🎟️

no cap, that's the entire function. short king behavior. we love to see it. 👑

😭 REPORTING BUGS 😭

found something cursed? don't suffer in silence, bestie:

they want to hear from you. it's a whole thing. 🫶
