💖 gnutls_sign_get_id — the glow-up your sign algorithm names deserve 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in the gnutls manual (yes, that gnutls) and it's literally the ✨ API function ✨ that turns a cute little algorithm name into its official ID. it's giving translator, it's giving matchmaker, it's giving "i know her" 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_sign_get_id — API function 🌸

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

gnutls_sign_algorithm_t gnutls_sign_get_id(const char * name);

like. she's a single function. she takes a name and she hands you back a whole enum. main character energy, no cap 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • const char * name — bestie this is a sign algorithm name. that's it, that's the whole job. hand her the name, she does the rest 💅

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so here's the tea: the names get compared in a case insensitive way. uppercase, lowercase, screaming-into-the-void-caps, she genuinely does not care. "RSA", "rsa", "RsA"? all the same girl to her. slay 🙈

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

she returns a gnutls_sign_algorithm_t value corresponding to the algorithm you asked for 💖

and if it goes wrong? you get GNUTLS_SIGN_UNKNOWN on error. so like… if you see that one, she didn't find your girl. don't take it personally 😭
