gnutls_x509_crq_export(3)

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_x509_crq_export — bestie, it's literally the API function that turns your certificate request into bytes 💅 (from the gnutls manual, iykyk)

---

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_crq_export(gnutls_x509_crq_t crq, gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t
format, void * output_data, size_t * output_data_size);

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• gnutls_x509_crq_t crq — okay so this one should contain a gnutls_x509_crq_t type, that's the whole vibe 🦋
• gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t format — the format of the output params, and it's giving one of PEM or DER, no in-between 💀
• void * output_data — will contain a certificate request, PEM or DER encoded, so like, that's where it lands ✨
• size_t * output_data_size — holds the size of output_data, and lowkey it gets replaced by the actual size of parameters afterwards 👑

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So this function will export the certificate request to a PEM or DER encoded PKCS10 structure. Periodt.

If the buffer you provided is not long enough to hold the output, then GNUTLS_E_SHORT_MEMORY_BUFFER will be returned and * output_data_size will be updated. Not me warning you about the buffer size, bestie, but like, fr fr check it 🙈

If the structure is PEM encoded, it will have a header of "BEGIN NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST". That's iconic, that's the whole main character energy of the output 🎀

---

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned — slay 💖 — otherwise a negative error value. So like, if it's negative, something went off and you should go look at it, ngl.
