✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_x509_crl_get_signature_algorithm — it's an API function, bestie 💖

This one lives in the gnutls manual, and we're about to make it make sense. Periodt.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_crl_get_signature_algorithm(gnutls_x509_crl_t crl);

Like, that's the whole vibe right there 👑

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • gnutls_x509_crl_t crl — okay so this should contain a gnutls_x509_crl_t type. That's it, that's the requirement. Give it your CRL and let it cook 🍓

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So here's the tea: this function will return a value of the gnutls_sign_algorithm_t enumeration that is the signature algorithm. Basically you hand it a CRL and it tells you what signed it. slay 💚

And since 3.6.0? This function never returns a negative error code. Not ever. No cap. 🚫

So what happens when stuff goes wrong, or the signature algorithm is unknown/unsupported? It all gets mapped to GNUTLS_SIGN_UNKNOWN. Every single error case, every unknown, every unsupported one — they all land in the same bucket. So don't be out here checking for negative returns like it's 2018, because that era is over. 💀

🔥 RETURNS 🔥

A gnutls_sign_algorithm_t value. That's the whole return, that's the main character energy right there ✨

And that's the whole page, bestie 💜 This was the gnutls manual, version 3.8.13, and yeah the page name is a whole mouthful (gnutls_x509_cr...ature_algorithm) so we just call it by its government name up top. Stay iconic, read your man pages, mwah 😭💅🌸
