✨ gnutls_x509_crt_import(3) ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the gnutls manual — the gnutls_x509_crt_import(3) one 💖 — and it's literally the glow-up moment where your raw cert bytes become a real, native gnutls certificate object. no cap. let's get into it 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

gnutls_x509_crt_import — it's an API function, and it's the one that pulls your DER/PEM cert into gnutls-land 🎀

🫶 SYNOPSIS 🫶

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_crt_import(gnutls_x509_crt_t cert, const gnutls_datum_t
* data, gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t format);

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

  • gnutls_x509_crt_t cert — the place where the parsed certificate gets stored. it's giving "the data to store the parsed certificate", and honestly that's the whole vibe ✨
  • const gnutls_datum_t * data — your cert, either DER or PEM encoded. come as you are, both formats welcome 🥰
  • gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t format — and you gotta tell it which one: it's one of DER or PEM. no guessing games here, bestie, you pick 🙈

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so what this function does is literally convert the DER or PEM encoded Certificate you hand it into the native gnutls_x509_crt_t format ✨ and the output lands in cert — that's where it's stored, periodt 💅

and if your Certificate is PEM encoded? heads up: it should have a header of "X509 CERTIFICATE", or "CERTIFICATE". that's the vibe check your PEM has to pass 🎀

👑 RETURNS 👑

on success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned 🥳 otherwise you get a negative error value — aka it did not slay, and you should go check what happened 😭
