GNUTLS_X509_CRQ_GET_CHALLENGE_PASSWORD(3)

💖 gnutls_x509_crq_get_challenge_password(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the gnutls manual (section 3, library calls, iykyk) and it's literally about grabbing a challenge password out of a certificate request. it's giving "small function, big feelings". let's go 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_x509_crq_get_challenge_password — which is, and I cannot stress this enough, an API function 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_crq_get_challenge_password(gnutls_x509_crq_t crq, char *
pass, size_t * pass_size);

yes the line break in the middle of pass is real, that's just how the manpage do 🫶

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• gnutls_x509_crq_t crq — should contain a gnutls_x509_crq_t type. that's it, that's the vibe, it's a cert request and we're obsessed with it ✨
• char * pass — will hold a (0)-terminated password string. zero-terminated, bestie, classic C moment 🌈
• size_t * pass_size — initially holds the size of pass. initially!! so it comes in with a value and, well, you know how these things go 😭

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

This function will return the challenge password in the request. periodt.

The challenge password is intended to be used for requesting a revocation of the certificate. so like, it's the little secret handshake you use when you need to yeet a cert 💀 not me thinking that's iconic.

---

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value.

so zero = slay, negative = not slay, and honestly that's the whole personality of this function 🎀
