💖 NAME 💖

gnutls_x509_crt_set_crq_extension_by_oid — an API function, bestie. And it lives in the gnutls manual, page gnutls_x509_crt_set_crq_extension_by_oid(3) 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so first thing, you gotta include this header, no skipping:

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

and here's the whole function signature, exactly, don't freestyle it:

int gnutls_x509_crt_set_crq_extension_by_oid(gnutls_x509_crt_t crt,
       gnutls_x509_crq_t crq, const char * oid, unsigned flags);

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

the tea on every single parameter, let's go:

  • gnutls_x509_crt_t crt — a certificate of type gnutls_x509_crt_t. that's the glow-up destination, the cert getting the extension 💅
  • gnutls_x509_crq_t crq — holds a certificate request. yes she's holding it, she's the source of the extension 🫶
  • const char * oid — the object identifier of the OID to copy. like, the literal OID string, copy it over verbatim pls
  • unsigned flags — should be zero. that's it. zero. not one. zero. 🙈

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so what does she actually do? This function will set the extension specify by oid from the given request to the certificate.

that's the whole vibe: extension lives in the crq, you name it by oid, it lands on the crt. periodt. 🎀

💜 RETURNS 💜

On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value.

so if you get a 0? slay, you ate. if you get a negative number? that's your sign something went sideways, go read it 😭

⭐ SINCE ⭐

3.5.1 — she's been iconic since way back, no cap.
