gnutls_x509_cr...t_othername_oid(3)

💖 NAME 💖

gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_alt_othername_oid — it's an API function, bestie, and yes we're reading the gnutls manual (section 3, the library calls girlies) together 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_alt_othername_oid(gnutls_x509_crt_t
cert, unsigned int seq, void * oid, size_t * oid_size);

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• gnutls_x509_crt_t cert — should contain a gnutls_x509_crt_t type. that's literally the whole job of this one bestie, it's a cert and it holds a gnutls_x509_crt_t type 🙈
• unsigned int seq — specifies the sequence number of the alt name (0 for the first one, 1 for the second etc.). yes queen, we're indexing from zero, that's just how it is 🦋
• void * oid — is the place where the otherName OID will be copied to ✨
• size_t * oid_size — holds the size of ret.

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so this function will extract the type OID of an otherName Subject Alternative Name, contained in the given certificate, and return the type as an enumerated element. it's giving "tell me what kind of otherName we're dealing with" 👑

This function is only useful if gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_alt_name() returned GNUTLS_SAN_OTHERNAME. like, that's the vibe check. if it didn't return that, this call isn't your moment bestie 😭

If oid is null then only the size will be filled. The oid returned will be null terminated, although oid_size will not account for the trailing null. no cap — the null terminator is there, it's just not counted 🫶

---

💜 RETURNS 💜

the alternative subject name type on success, one of the enumerated gnutls_x509_subject_alt_name_t. For supported OIDs, it will return one of the virtual (GNUTLS_SAN_OTHERNAME_*) types, e.g. GNUTLS_SAN_OTHERNAME_XMPP, and GNUTLS_SAN_OTHERNAME for unknown OIDs. lowkey iconic behavior honestly 💖

It will return GNUTLS_E_SHORT_MEMORY_BUFFER if ian_size is not large enough to hold the value. In that case ian_size will be updated with the required size. so like, it tells you how much room you need, which is very main character of it ✨

If the certificate does not have an Alternative name with the specified sequence number and with the otherName type then GNUTLS_E_REQUESTED_DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE is returned. nothing there bestie, it's not you, the cert just doesn't have it 💀
