💅 gnutls_x509_crl_set_crt — bestie, let's revoke a cert

okay so this one lives in the gnutls manual (that's the GNU TLS library, iykyk) and it's literally one of the CRL-building girlies. if you've ever wondered "how do I put a certificate on the naughty list", this is the function, no cap 💀✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_crl_set_crt(gnutls_x509_crl_t crl, gnutls_x509_crt_t
crt, time_t revocation_time);

that's the whole vibe. three args, one int back. she's lowkey elegant 🎀

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • gnutls_x509_crl_t crl — this one should contain a gnutls_x509_crl_t type. like, it's the CRL you're editing. the actual list. the main character 👑
  • gnutls_x509_crt_t crt — a certificate of type gnutls_x509_crt_t with the revoked certificate. yes bestie, this is the cert you're about to put on the list 🙈
  • time_t revocation_time — the time this certificate was revoked. when did the betrayal happen, timestamps only fr fr ⏰

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so the way this works: this function will set a revoked certificate's serial number to the CRL. that's it. that's the whole job. you hand her a CRL, you hand her a cert, you tell her when it got revoked, and she slots that serial number right into the list.

short king behavior honestly. does exactly one thing and does it 🫶

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

on success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (that's 0, the good one) is returned. otherwise you get a negative error value and, like, it's giving "something went wrong" 😭

so like: check for zero. if it's not zero, bestie, it's not a success.
