💖 gnutls_x509_crt_set_authority_key_id(3) 💖

okay bestie so this is one of the pages from the gnutls manual — you know, the TLS library that literally runs half the internet's vibe check. and this specific page? it's about setting the authority key ID extension on an X.509 certificate. we love a niche but essential function, no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_x509_crt_set_authority_key_id — an API function, and yes it does exactly what the name says, iconic behaviour honestly

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_crt_set_authority_key_id(gnutls_x509_crt_t cert, const
                                         void * id, size_t id_size);

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • gnutls_x509_crt_t cert — a certificate, and its type is literally gnutls_x509_crt_t, so like, it's the certificate you're about to mess with 💅
  • const void * id — the key ID. that's it. that's the whole thing.
  • size_t id_size — holds the size of the key ID field. the little number that says how big id actually is.

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so here's the tea: this function sets the X.509 certificate's authority key ID extension. slay.

but bestie, listen — only the keyIdentifier field can be set with this function. that's the whole scope. no extras, no add-ons, just that one field. periodt. 💅

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

if it works? you get GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (that's a 0, the sweetest number) 🫶

if it doesn't? you get a negative error value. rude, but that's how you know something went sideways. 😭
