gnutls_x509_crl_sign(3)

💖 gnutls_x509_crl_sign(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this page lives in the gnutls manual and it's literally just called gnutls_x509_crl_sign — it's an API function, no cap. it's giving "sign a CRL and go", and honestly? iconic. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

lowkey the whole thing is just this:

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_crl_sign(gnutls_x509_crl_t crl, gnutls_x509_crt_t issuer,
                         gnutls_x509_privkey_t issuer_key);

three arguments, one function, zero drama. 🦋

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• gnutls_x509_crl_t crl — bestie this one should contain a gnutls_x509_crl_t type, that's the whole vibe. it's the CRL getting signed. 💅
• gnutls_x509_crt_t issuer — this is the certificate of the certificate issuer. yes, the issuer's cert, not the key, not a vibe check, the actual cert. ✨
• gnutls_x509_privkey_t issuer_key — and this cutie holds the issuer's private key. keep it safe, keep it secret, periodt. 🔐

---

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

so this function is the same as gnutls_x509_crl_sign2() with no flags, plus an appropriate hash algorithm. that's it, that's the tea. ☕

the way that the hash algorithm used may vary between versions of GnuTLS — like, don't @ me, it's just how it is — and it's tied to the security level of the issuer's public key. so it's not a random pick, it's matched up. iykyk. 🌈

---

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

on success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned. slay! 💖

otherwise you get a negative error value, which is the universe's way of saying "not today". 😭
