✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_x509_crq_get_pk_algorithm — an API function, bestie, and it's here to tell you what kind of public key is hiding inside a PKCS10 certificate request 💅

This one lives in the gnutls manual, and honestly? She's a little legend.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_crq_get_pk_algorithm(gnutls_x509_crq_t crq, unsigned int
*bits);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • gnutls_x509_crq_t crq — okay so this one should contain a gnutls_x509_crq_t type. Like, that's the whole vibe. It's the cert request you're interrogating 🔍
  • unsigned int * bits — if bits is non-NULL, it's gonna hold the size of the parameters, in bits. Non-NULL = it gets filled in. NULL = she minds her own business 🙈

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this function returns the public key algorithm of a PKCS10 certificate request. That's it, that's the job, and she does it flawlessly ✨

If bits is non-NULL, it should have enough size to hold the parameters size in bits — like, please give her room to work, she's not squeezing into jeans two sizes too small 😭

  • For RSA, the bits returned is the modulus.
  • For DSA, the bits returned are of the public exponent.

No cap, those are two completely different things. Do not mix them up. Periodt 💅

👑 RETURNS 👑

A member of the gnutls_pk_algorithm_t enumeration on success — slay 🎉 — or a negative error code on error 😭
