💖 gnutls_x509_crt_set_name_constraints(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in the gnutls manual, and it's literally the glow-up your certificate's name constraints have been waiting for. no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_x509_crt_set_name_constraints — it's an API function, babes. that's the whole vibe. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_crt_set_name_constraints(gnutls_x509_crt_t crt,
gnutls_x509_name_constraints_t nc, unsigned int critical);

like, look at that signature. iconic. 👑

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • gnutls_x509_crt_t crt — the certificate. the main character, fr. 🌟
  • gnutls_x509_name_constraints_t nc — the nameconstraints structure. this is the actual tea being served. 🍵
  • unsigned int critical — whether this extension will be critical. (spoiler alert from the description, bestie… 👀)

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so this function sets the provided name constraints into the certificate extension list. that's it, that's the job. ✨
