🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_crq_verify(gnutls_x509_crq_t crq, unsigned int flags);

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • gnutls_x509_crq_t crq — this is the crq you want verified. the one getting the vibe check 💅
  • unsigned int flags — flags that may be used to change the verification algorithm. use an OR of the gnutls_certificate_verify_flags enumerations, k? 🔥

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

This function will verify the self signature in the certificate request and return its status. like, does this crq even vouch for itself? we're finding out 🫶

💜 RETURNS 💜

If the verification fails, you get GNUTLS_E_PK_SIG_VERIFY_FAILED back. but if it succeeds? zero or a positive code, and honestly, slay 😭✨
