✨ gnutls_x509_crl_dist_points_set(3) ✨

okay bestie, we're in the gnutls manual, and today's main character is a little function called gnutls_x509_crl_dist_points_set. it's giving certificate-nerd, it's giving CRL distribution points, and honestly? it's kinda iconic. let's get into it 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

gnutls_x509_crl_dist_points_set — API function

no cap, that's the whole name. short, sweet, does exactly one thing. periodt.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <gnutls/x509-ext.h>

int gnutls_x509_crl_dist_points_set(gnutls_x509_crl_dist_points_t cdp,
gnutls_x509_subject_alt_name_t type, const gnutls_datum_t * san,
unsigned int reasons);

so you gotta pull in <gnutls/x509-ext.h> first — don't forget it, she's essential, she's the vibe ✨

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • gnutls_x509_crl_dist_points_t cdp — the CRL distribution points themselves. this is the thing you're stuffing data into, your little container of destinies 🫙
  • gnutls_x509_subject_alt_name_t type — the type of the name (of gnutls_subject_alt_names_t). yes girl, that's literally what it says, the type of the name 💀
  • const gnutls_datum_t * san — the point name data. the actual name bits go here.
  • unsigned int reasons — revocation reasons. this one's an ORed sequence of flags from gnutls_x509_crl_reason_flags_t, so you're stacking flags together with ORs, like friendship bracelets but for revocation reasons 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This function will store the specified CRL distribution point value the cdp type.

that's it. that's the whole job. she takes your distribution point and she puts it in the cdp thing. lowkey simple, highkey useful 🌈

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0), otherwise a negative error value.

so like — zero means you ate and left no crumbs 👑. anything negative? that's a "not me getting an error" moment, and you should go check what went wrong 🙈

🧚 SINCE 🧚

3.3.0

she's been around since 3.3.0, so she's a seasoned queen, not a new girl on the block 💜
