💖 NAME 💖

gnutls_x509_crt_get_signature_algorithm — bestie, it's an API function, and it's here to tell you which signature algorithm signed your certificate 🎀

(this lil page lives in the gnutls manual, section 3, and the whole vibe is gnutls_x509_cr...ature_algorithm(3) — yes the title gets truncated like that, iconic honestly)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_crt_get_signature_algorithm(gnutls_x509_crt_t cert);

okay so that's the whole thing. one function, one arg, no drama 💅

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • gnutls_x509_crt_t cert — this one should contain a gnutls_x509_crt_t type. that's the whole assignment bestie, it's giving "just pass me a cert" energy 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So like, this function will return a value of the gnutls_sign_algorithm_t enumeration that is the signature algorithm that has been used to sign this certificate. literally just "what signed u" but for certs ✨

Since 3.6.0 this function never returns a negative error code. not ever. no cap. 🫡 Error cases and unknown/unsupported signature algorithms are mapped to GNUTLS_SIGN_UNKNOWN. so if it's confused, it doesn't crash out, it just goes GNUTLS_SIGN_UNKNOWN and moves on. main character composure 💅

👑 RETURNS 👑

a gnutls_sign_algorithm_t value. that's it. that's the return. slay ⭐
