✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_x509_crt_get_raw_issuer_dn — bestie, this is an API function 💖 and it is exactly what it says on the tin.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_crt_get_raw_issuer_dn(gnutls_x509_crt_t cert,
gnutls_datum_t * dn);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • gnutls_x509_crt_t cert — okay so this one should contain a gnutls_x509_crt_t type. That's the vibe. 👑
  • gnutls_datum_t * dn — this lil cutie is gonna hold the starting point of the DN. 🫶

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So what does this do? It returns a pointer to the DER encoded DN structure and the length. That's it, that's the whole plot. 🌈

Heads up bestie: this points to allocated data that must be free'd using gnutls_free(). Do not forget. Do not ghost it. Memory leaks are NOT the vibe. 💀

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value. or a negative error code on error. 😭 (yes, the docs really say it twice, we love a redundant queen)
