💖 gnutls_sign_algorithm_get_requested 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the gnutls manual, you're gonna eat this one up ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

gnutls_sign_algorithm_get_requested — it's an API function, and it's lowkey iconic 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

int gnutls_sign_algorithm_get_requested(gnutls_session_t session, size_t
indx, gnutls_sign_algorithm_t * algo);

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• gnutls_session_t session — bestie this is a gnutls_session_t type, that's the whole vibe of it 🫶
• size_t indx — it's an index of the signature algorithm to return, like the lil number you pass to pick which one you want
• gnutls_sign_algorithm_t * algo — the returned certificate type gets stored right there, she's the output girlie 💖

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what this does is: it returns the signature algorithm specified by index that was requested by the peer. That's it, that's the serve. 👑

but listen — if the specified index has no data available, this function returns GNUTLS_E_REQUESTED_DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE. And if the negotiated TLS version doesn't even support signature algorithms, then GNUTLS_E_REQUESTED_DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE will be returned even for the first index. Yes, even index zero. Not a drill. 😭

and the first index? that's 0. Zero-based, like a real one. 💅

this function is useful in the certificate callback functions to assist in selecting the correct certificate. so if you're out here picking certs, she's your girl fr fr 🎀

---

🌈 RETURNS 🌈

On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned — slay ✨ otherwise an error code is returned, and you get to deal with that 💀

---

⭐ SINCE ⭐

2.10.0 — she's been around since way back, an OG 👑
