πŸ’– gnutls_x509_crt_cpy_crl_dist_points β€” the manual page, but make it make sense πŸ’–

okay bestie, you're in the gnutls section 3 manual, page gnutls_x509_cr...crl_dist_points(3), and honestly? this one's a lil cutie. no cap. πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_x509_crt_cpy_crl_dist_points β€” literally an API function, and its whole personality is copying stuff πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_crt_cpy_crl_dist_points(gnutls_x509_crt_t dst,
gnutls_x509_crt_t src);

look at her. two certs walk in, distribution points walk out. iconic. ✨


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • gnutls_x509_crt_t dst β€” bestie this is a certificate of type gnutls_x509_crt_t. she's the destination, the one receiving the goods 🫢
  • gnutls_x509_crt_t src β€” the certificate where the dist points will be copied from. she's the source, she's giving, she's generous πŸ’œ

πŸ’€ DESCRIPTION πŸ’€

so the way that this works is β€” this function will copy the CRL distribution points certificate extension, from the source to the destination certificate. like, straight up, extension gets picked up from src and placed onto dst. 🧚

and why would you even want that? because it may be useful to copy from a CA certificate to issued ones. so the CA's got the goods, and all the certs she issues get to match. main character energy from the CA, fr fr. πŸ‘‘


⭐ RETURNS ⭐

on success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned πŸŽ‰ otherwise you get a negative error value and you should probably sit with that for a sec 😭
