✨ gnutls_x509_aia_init(3) ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the gnutls manual β€” yes the whole crypto/TLS library situation β€” and today we're doing gnutls_x509_aia_init. it's giving very much "set up your authority info access object" energy. short page, but we're gonna make it iconic anyway πŸ’…


🌸 NAME 🌸

gnutls_x509_aia_init β€” literally the API function that starts it all off


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

#include <gnutls/x509-ext.h>

int gnutls_x509_aia_init(gnutls_x509_aia_t * aia);

πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • gnutls_x509_aia_t * aia β€” the authority info access, bestie. this is the thing you're initializing. it's a pointer, so hand over the address and let the function do its lil glow-up ✨

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

so what does this actually do? this function will initialize an authority info access type. that's it. that's the whole vibe. you give it a fresh gnutls_x509_aia_t and it gets set up and ready for whatever AIA shenanigans come next. no cap. 🫢


πŸ‘‘ RETURNS πŸ‘‘

on success you get GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (which is 0, iconic), otherwise you get a negative error value β€” so if it's less than zero, something went sideways and you should go check it 😭


🌈 SINCE 🌈

3.3.0 β€” yeah, this has been around a minute. vintage, but in a cute way ⭐
