GNUTLS_SIGN_SUPPORTS_PK_ALGORITHM(3)

💖 NAME 💖

gnutls_sign_supports_pk_algorithm — bestie, this is an API function and it's here to answer one very specific "are y'all compatible?" question 💅

This one lives in the gnutls manual, so you already know it's about TLS and crypto and all that good stuff.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

unsigned gnutls_sign_supports_pk_algorithm(gnutls_sign_algorithm_t sign,
                                           gnutls_pk_algorithm_t pk);

okay so that's the whole vibe right there 🫶 two inputs, one unsigned coming back out.

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• gnutls_sign_algorithm_t sign — is a signature algorithm, like, that's literally what it is 🦋
• gnutls_pk_algorithm_t pk — is a public key algorithm, same energy, different type 🌸

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

This function returns non-zero if the public key algorithm corresponds to the given signature algorithm. That is, if that signature can be generated from the given private key algorithm. no cap, that's the whole plot 💀

So like... you hand it a signature algorithm and a public key algorithm, and it tells you whether they're a match. it's giving compatibility check, it's giving "do these two even go together" 🧚

---

⭐ SINCE ⭐

3.6.0 — been around since then, an icon, a legend 👑

---

💜 RETURNS 💜

return non-zero when the provided algorithms are compatible. and if they're not compatible? you get zero, which is also technically a value, and that's on ✨ booleans ✨

okay that's the whole page, mwah 💖 this was gnutls, version 3.8.13, and yeah the date situation is just that classic manpage footer energy — stay compatible, stay iconic, periodt 🌸
