💖 gnutls_x509_aia_set(3) — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is a page from the gnutls manual, and it's literally about one function: gnutls_x509_aia_set. no cap, that's the whole vibe. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_x509_aia_set — it's an API function, bestie 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/x509-ext.h>

int gnutls_x509_aia_set(gnutls_x509_aia_t aia, const char * oid,
       unsigned san_type, const gnutls_datum_t * san);

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• gnutls_x509_aia_t aia — the authority info access, aka the thing we're writing into 💖
• const char * oid — the type of data. that's the vibe identifier fr fr
• unsigned san_type — the type of the name (of gnutls_subject_alt_names_t)
• const gnutls_datum_t * san — the alternative name data itself, the actual content ✨

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what this function does: it stores the alternative name you hand it inside the aia type. that's it, that's the job. 🌈

typically the value for oid should be GNUTLS_OID_AD_OCSP, or GNUTLS_OID_AD_CAISSUERS. like, those are the ones you'd normally reach for, iykyk.

and here's a lil glow-up note: since version 3.5.7, the GNUTLS_SAN_RFC822NAME and GNUTLS_SAN_DNSNAME get converted to ACE format when necessary. obsessed with that 💅

---

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

on success you get GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (that's 0), and otherwise you get a negative error value. so like, if it's negative, something went sideways, bestie 😭

---

👑 SINCE 👑

3.3.0 — she's been around a minute 💜
