💅 gnutls_x509_crt_get_pk_dsa_raw — bestie edition 💅

okay so real talk, this is a page from the gnutls manual (yes, that gnutls, the TLS library, the one carrying your entire internet on its back 🫶) and today we're doing gnutls_x509_crt_get_pk_dsa_raw. it's an API function. it's giving "quietly important". let's get into it ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_crt_get_pk_dsa_raw(gnutls_x509_crt_t crt, gnutls_datum_t * p, gnutls_datum_t * q, gnutls_datum_t * g, gnutls_datum_t * y);

no cap, that's the whole vibe right there 💖

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • gnutls_x509_crt_t crt — the certificate you're holding, literally. this is the one we're gonna dig into 🔍
  • gnutls_datum_t * p — bestie, this one will hold the p. that's it, that's the job 🫡
  • gnutls_datum_t * q — and this one will hold the q. she's got one task 💅
  • gnutls_datum_t * g — you guessed it, will hold the g 🎀
  • gnutls_datum_t * y — and finally, will hold the y. four little datums, four little destinies 🌸

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so what does this icon actually do? she exports the DSA public key's parameters that are found in the given certificate. periodt. 🦋

the new parameters get allocated using gnutls_malloc() and then they get stored in the appropriate datum. so like, the memory is hers now, you didn't malloc it, she did, and she's handing it to you 💖

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

  • GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS on success 🥳
  • otherwise, a negative error code 😭 (she's not mad, she's just disappointed)
