✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_x509_crt_set_authority_info_access — bestie, this is the API function that sets the Authority Information Access extension on a certificate 💅

(it lives in the gnutls manual, in case the title up top was being mysterious)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_crt_set_authority_info_access(gnutls_x509_crt_t crt, int
what, gnutls_datum_t * data);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • gnutls_x509_crt_t crt — the certificate that holds all this. she's the one getting the glow-up ✨
  • int what — which data we're getting, and it's a gnutls_info_access_what_t type. yes bestie, it literally tells you what. iconic naming tbh
  • gnutls_datum_t * data — the output data, and heads up: you gotta free it with gnutls_free(). not me reminding you so you don't leak 😭

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so. this function sets the Authority Information Access (AIA) extension — and if you want the receipts, go read RFC 5280 section 4.2.2.1. periodt 📜

the type of data that gets stored in data is specified via what, which should be gnutls_info_access_what_t values.

so like, here's the vibe check on what:

  • if what is GNUTLS_IA_OCSP_URI, then data will hold the OCSP URI 🫶
  • if what is GNUTLS_IA_CAISSUERS_URI, then data will hold the caIssuers URI 👑

👑 RETURNS 👑

on success you get GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (which is 0, slay). otherwise you get a negative error value, and honestly? it's giving sad girl hours 😔

⭐ SINCE ⭐

3.0 — she's been here since 3.0, a true veteran queen 🎀
