💖 gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the gnutls manual, this one's the ✨ subject DN ✨ page and it's lowkey a bop. it's an API function, it lives in section 3, and it's literally just here to hand you the subject. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject — API function 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject(gnutls_x509_crt_t cert, gnutls_x509_dn_t
* dn);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • gnutls_x509_crt_t cert — should contain a gnutls_x509_crt_t type. like, that's the whole vibe of this one, bestie 💅
  • gnutls_x509_dn_t * dn — output variable with pointer to uint8_t DN. it's giving "here's where i put the answer" 🦋

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what does it actually do? it returns the Certificate's Subject DN as a gnutls_x509_dn_t data type — and that thing can be decoded using gnutls_x509_dn_get_rdn_ava(). iconic combo fr fr 🔥

⚠️ okay important bestie, listen up: note that dn should be treated as constant. because it points into the cert object, you should not use dn after cert is deallocated. that's a use-after-free situation and it is NOT the vibe. no cap. 💀

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

Returns 0 on success, or an error code. that's it, that's the tea ☕
