💖 gnutls_x509_crl_export2 💖

ok so bestie, you've got a Certificate Revocation List just sitting there in memory and you need it out?? like, as actual bytes you can save or send?? that's literally this function from the gnutls manual, and it's giving "glow up for your CRL." ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_crl_export2(gnutls_x509_crl_t crl, gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t
format, gnutls_datum_t * out);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • gnutls_x509_crl_t crl — holds the revocation list. that's your girl, the CRL you're about to yeet out into the world 💅
  • gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t format — the format of the output params, bestie. it's one of PEM or DER. pick one, no pressure 🦋
  • gnutls_datum_t * out — will contain a private key PEM or DER encoded. (yes, that's what the docs say, we report it faithfully, no notes 😭)

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

this function will export the revocation list to DER or PEM format. it's the whole job. it does the thing. 🔥

the output buffer is allocated using gnutls_malloc(). so like, heads up, it's their malloc, not yours — the memory is theirs to give and yours to eventually free. 🫶

if the structure is PEM encoded, it will have a header of "BEGIN X509 CRL". iconic header, no cap. 👑

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

on success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned. otherwise it hands you a negative error value — so like, if it's not zero, something went sideways, and that's your cue to go read the error, not to spiral. 💀

since 3.1.3 — baby this function has been around, it's practically a legacy icon 🌈
