✨ gnutls_strerror_name ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the gnutls manual — yes, that gnutls, the GNU Transport Layer Security library, and this little function is genuinely one of my faves because it's so unbothered. 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

gnutls_strerror_name — literally an API function, that's it, that's the whole job description 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

const char * gnutls_strerror_name(int error);

💜 ARGUMENTS 💜

  • int error — this is an error returned by a gnutls function. like, one of those error codes gnutls hands you when something goes sideways. you're passing it in here so we can find out its whole name. 🙈

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so what it does is return the GnuTLS error code define as a string. that's the vibe. ✨

for example, gnutls_strerror_name (GNUTLS_E_DH_PRIME_UNACCEPTABLE) will return the string "GNUTLS_E_DH_PRIME_UNACCEPTABLE".

see how it just hands you back the name?? like it looked at the number and was like "oh bestie, I know exactly who you are" 💅 iconic behaviour fr fr.

💖 RETURNS 💖

A string corresponding to the symbol name of the error code. 🫶

🌈 SINCE 🌈
