💖 gnutls_x509_crl_get_signature_oid 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're about to read a CRL's signature OID and it's actually kind of iconic. this page lives in the gnutls manual, and the whole vibe is: "the algorithm name came back cursed, now what?" 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_x509_crl_get_signature_oid — the API function that hands you the OID of the signature algorithm used to sign a CRL. no cap. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_crl_get_signature_oid(gnutls_x509_crl_t crl, char * oid,
                                      size_t * oid_size);

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • gnutls_x509_crl_t crl — bestie this should contain a gnutls_x509_crl_t type. that's the whole requirement. it's giving "bring your own CRL". 🎀
  • char * oid — a pointer to a buffer that's gonna hold the OID. and guess what, it may be null, so if you're just vibe-checking the size first, you're so valid. ✨
  • size_t * oid_size — this one initially holds the size of oid. it comes in knowing things. it's the main character. 👑

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so this function literally returns the OID of the signature algorithm that has been used to sign this CRL. that's it. that's the whole job. 🫶

and why would you even need that? because this function is useful in the case where gnutls_x509_crl_get_signature_algorithm() returned GNUTLS_SIGN_UNKNOWN. yeah. when the nice friendly algorithm lookup is like "idk her 💀", you come here and get the raw OID instead. iykyk.

✨ RETURNS ✨

zero, or a negative error code on error. so like, 0 is the slay, anything negative is the not-slay. 😭

✨ SINCE ✨

3.5.0 — an elder. a classic. still serving. 🌸

like, go read the whole thing, it's a saga, it's a journey, it's giving encyclopedia but make it cute. 📚✨

okay that's the whole page, you ate that, go forth and OID responsibly 💅🌈

this little love letter came to you from the gnutls manual, version 3.8.13 — mwah, bye bestie! 🎀🦋💖
