💅 gnutls_x509_crl_set_next_update — bestie, let's set when your CRL gets its next glow-up

okay so this one lives in the gnutls manual, and it's genuinely one of the chillest little API functions you'll ever meet. it's giving "small but mighty". let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_x509_crl_set_next_update — the API function that tells your CRL when it should next be updated 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_crl_set_next_update(gnutls_x509_crl_t crl, time_t
exp_time);

like yes, that's the whole thing. two args, one int back. no cap. ✨

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • gnutls_x509_crl_t crl — this one should contain a gnutls_x509_crl_t type. it's the CRL you're about to touch, bestie, so pls make sure it's actually a CRL and not vibes 💀
  • time_t exp_time — The actual time. literally just hand over the time you want. that's it. that's the arg. 🕐

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the way this works: this function will set the time this CRL will be updated. that's the whole job, and it does it fabulously. 💅

and here's the tea — this is an optional value to be set on a CRL. you can literally just omit this call when you're generating a CRL and everything will be fine. it's optional-optional. lowkey freeing, honestly. 🕊️

⚠️ but wait, storytime: Prior to GnuTLS 3.5.7, setting a nextUpdate field was required in order to generate a CRL. so if you're time-traveling back to old GnuTLS, you had to set this. mandatory. no skips. periodt. 👑

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

  • on success you get GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) — iconic, we love a zero 🎉
  • otherwise it returns a negative error value 😭 (check it, bestie, don't just assume)
