✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this page is from the gnutls manual — section 3, the library-functions girlies — and it's all about gnutls_x509_crq_get_private_key_usage_period, which is an API function. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

like, here's the whole vibe in code form:

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_crq_get_private_key_usage_period(gnutls_x509_crq_t crq,
       time_t * activation, time_t * expiration, unsigned int * critical);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • gnutls_x509_crq_t crq — should contain a gnutls_x509_crq_t type. yeah bestie it's a crq and it needs to actually be one, no cap.
  • time_t * activation — The activation time. ⏰
  • time_t * expiration — The expiration time. ⌛
  • unsigned int * critical — the extension status. lowkey important info, it goes here.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the way this works is: this function will return the expiration and activation times of the private key of the certificate. that's it, that's the whole serve. ✨

🌈 RETURNS 🌈

  • On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned 🫶
  • GNUTLS_E_REQUESTED_DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE if the extension is not present 😭 (it's giving "nothing to see here")
  • otherwise a negative error value 💀
