💖 gnutls_x509_crl_dist_points_get — the API function ✨

okay so bestie, this page lives in the gnutls manual (that's the manual name, if you were wondering 🫶) and it's all about pulling CRL distribution points out of a certificate-ish thing, one at a time, like you're scrolling a very specific list. let's go 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <gnutls/x509-ext.h>

int gnutls_x509_crl_dist_points_get(gnutls_x509_crl_dist_points_t cdp,
unsigned int seq, unsigned int * type, gnutls_datum_t * san, unsigned
int * reasons);

yes she takes five arguments, no she is not sorry about it 🌸

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • gnutls_x509_crl_dist_points_t cdp — the CRL distribution points. like, the actual container we're reading from, the main character of this whole operation 👑
  • unsigned int seq — which one do you want, bestie? the sequence number of the distribution point. 0 gets you the first one, 1 gets you the second, etc. counting starts at zero, as all good things do 🍓
  • unsigned int * type — the name type of the corresponding name, and it's a gnutls_x509_subject_alt_name_t value. so she's telling you what kind of name you just got 🦋
  • unsigned int * reasons — the revocation reasons. it's an ORed sequence of flags from gnutls_x509_crl_reason_flags_t, so like, stack 'em up 💫

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

this function retrieves the individual CRL distribution points (OID 2.5.29.31, iykyk) that are contained in the provided type. that's it. that's the function. she gets you the goods ✨

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

  • on success, you get GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (which is 0, slay)
  • if your index is out of bounds, it's giving GNUTLS_E_REQUESTED_DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE 😭
  • otherwise, you get a negative error value. not ideal, but at least she tells you 💀
