✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_x509_crl_get_issuer_dn — okay bestie, this is an API function, and it's literally the one that hands you the name of the CRL issuer. That's it. That's the gig. 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_crl_get_issuer_dn(gnutls_x509_crl_t crl, char * buf,
size_t * sizeof_buf);

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • gnutls_x509_crl_t crl — bestie this one should contain a gnutls_x509_crl_t type, like, that's its whole job.
  • char * buf — a pointer to a structure to hold the peer's name. And yes, it may be null, no stress. 🙈
  • size_t * sizeof_buf — initially holds the size of buf. So you tell it how much room you've got up front, okay? 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what this function does: it copies the name of the CRL issuer into the buffer you handed it. That's the move. ✨

The name comes out looking like "C=xxxx,O=yyyy,CN=zzzz", exactly as described in RFC4514. And the output string will be ASCII or UTF-8 encoded, depending on the certificate data — so it's giving flexible, we love that for it. 🌈

If buf is NULL then only the size will be filled. Nothing else. Just the size. Iconic minimalism. 👑

Heads up bestie: this function does not output a fully RFC4514 compliant string. If that's what you need, go see gnutls_x509_crl_get_issuer_dn3(). Different function, different vibe, no cap. 💀

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

  • GNUTLS_E_SHORT_MEMORY_BUFFER — your buffer was not long enough, bestie 😭 and in that case the sizeof_buf will be updated with the required size so you know exactly what to bring next time.
  • 0 — success. Slay. 🎉
