🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• gnutls_x509_crl_t crl — a CRL of type gnutls_x509_crl_t. yes, it's the thing you're editing, she's the star of the show 🫶
• const void * nr — The CRL number. this is the actual number bestie, sitting there as a void * because gnutls said "we're flexible" 💀
• size_t nr_size — Holds the size of the nr field. like, how many bytes is your number. measure twice, cut once fr fr 📏

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This function will set the CRL's number extension. the way that it exists purely so the authority can slap a unique and monotonic number on each CRL 😌

so like — unique meaning no two CRLs get the same number, and monotonic meaning it only ever goes up. new CRL drops, number goes higher. it's giving "chronological order but make it cryptography" 🔥

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned. otherwise you get a negative error value and honestly? a negative vibe 😭 check your return codes, bestie, don't leave her on read.
