✨ gnutls_set_default_priority(3) ✨

okay bestie so this is a page from the gnutls manual, section 3 (library functions, iykyk) 💖

💅 NAME 💅

gnutls_set_default_priority — it's literally an API function, no cap ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

int gnutls_set_default_priority(gnutls_session_t session);

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • gnutls_session_t session — bestie it's a gnutls_session_t type, that's the whole vibe 🦋

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

So what it does is set the default priority on the ciphers, the key exchange methods, and the macs. periodt 💅

And ngl this is the recommended method of setting the defaults — like, it's the one you wanna use — and the reason is lowkey iconic: it promotes consistency between applications that use GnuTLS, and it lets GnuTLS-using applications update their settings in par with the library. slay ✨

For client applications that require maximum compatibility, consider calling gnutls_session_enable_compatibility_mode() after this function. 🌈

If an application wants to specify additional options to the priority string, consider using gnutls_set_default_priority_append() instead. 🎀

And if you wanna let a user override the defaults (like, say, when a user interface or a configuration file is available), then the functions gnutls_priority_set_direct() or gnutls_priority_set() can be used. no gatekeeping here 💜

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS on success, or an error code. that's it, that's the return 💀

🕰️ SINCE 🕰️

2.1.4 — a whole legend, fr fr 👑
