gnutls_x509_crt_set_ca_status(3)

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_x509_crt_set_ca_status — an API function 💅 (and it's literally here to tell the world whether your cert is a CA or not, bestie)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_crt_set_ca_status(gnutls_x509_crt_t crt, unsigned int
ca);

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• gnutls_x509_crt_t crt — a certificate of type gnutls_x509_crt_t, aka the lil guy you're editing 🫶
• unsigned int ca — true(1) or false(0). Which one you pass depends on the Certificate authority status you want. Slay responsibly. 👑

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so this function will set the basicConstraints certificate extension. That's it, that's the job, no cap. ✨

Heads up tho: if you also want to control the pathLenConstraint field, use gnutls_x509_crt_set_basic_constraints() instead — this one won't do it for you, bestie. 💀

---

🌈 RETURNS 🌈

On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned — iconic. Otherwise you get a negative error value, which is giving "something went wrong" energy. 😭
