✨ gnutls_x509_crq_get_pk_oid(3) ✨

okay bestie, gather round 💖 this one lives in the gnutls manual, and it's all about pulling the OID of a public key algorithm out of a certificate request. yes, an OID. the lil dotted-number situation. let's get into it 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

gnutls_x509_crq_get_pk_oid — lowkey an API function, highkey useful 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_crq_get_pk_oid(gnutls_x509_crq_t crq, char * oid, size_t
* oid_size);

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

  • gnutls_x509_crq_t crq — bestie this should contain a gnutls_x509_crq_t type. that's the vibe check ✅
  • char * oid — a pointer to a buffer to hold the OID. and no, it's not mandatory — it may be null 🙈
  • size_t * oid_size — initially holds the size of oid. it's giving "tell me how much room you've got" 📏

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so like, this function will return the OID of the public key algorithm on that certificate request. periodt. 🫶

and why would you need that, you ask? because sometimes gnutls_x509_crq_get_pk_algorithm() comes back with GNUTLS_PK_UNKNOWN 😭 and when that happens, this is your main character move. it's the fallback bestie. the "the algorithm function didn't know so let me get the raw OID instead" situation. iconic honestly ✨

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

zero, or a negative error code on error. simple as that 💀

🎀 SINCE 🎀
