✨ gnutls_x509_crq_set_key(3) ✨

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about a lil function from the gnutls manual that is genuinely doing the most with the least. it's called gnutls_x509_crq_set_key, and no cap, it's one of those tiny functions that carries the whole plot. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

gnutls_x509_crq_set_key — and yes it's an API function, it said so itself 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_crq_set_key(gnutls_x509_crq_t crq, gnutls_x509_privkey_t
key);

like, that's the whole entrance. two args, one int coming back. iconic behaviour honestly.

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • gnutls_x509_crq_t crq — this one should contain a gnutls_x509_crq_t type. it's the request, the moment, the main character of this whole operation 🫶
  • gnutls_x509_privkey_t key — this lil guy holds a private key. that's it. that's the job. keep it safe bestie 🔐

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so here's the tea: this function will set the public parameters from the given private key to the request. that's literally the entire vibe. you hand it a cert request and a private key, and it pulls the public parameters off that key and drops them into the request. no drama, no extra steps, just a clean little handoff ✨

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

  • On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned 🎉
  • otherwise you get a negative error value 😭

so like, check your return values, bestie, fr fr. zero is the goal. anything negative is the universe telling you something went sideways.
