💖 gnutls_x509_crl_import 💖

okay bestie, so this is one of those pages from the gnutls manual (the 3.8.13 era, we love her) and it's literally just one little function that turns a blob of certificate-revocation-list bytes into something gnutls can actually use. no cap. let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_x509_crl_import — and yes it's an API function, that's the whole vibe

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_crl_import(gnutls_x509_crl_t crl, const gnutls_datum_t *
data, gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t format);

like, include the header first or nothing works, periodt 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • gnutls_x509_crl_t crl — the place where the parsed CRL gets stored. she's the container, she's the moment.
  • const gnutls_datum_t * data — the actual CRL, encoded as DER or PEM. this is the raw material, the main character.
  • gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t format — one of DER or PEM. pick one, you can't be both 🙈

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

So what she does: this function converts the given DER- or PEM-encoded CRL into the native gnutls_x509_crl_t format. the output lands in 'crl'. iconic behavior honestly.

And the little detail you do NOT want to miss — if the CRL is PEM encoded, it needs to have a header of "X509 CRL". that's not optional, that's the law 💀

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned. otherwise you get a negative error value, which is giving "something went wrong bestie" energy 😭
