💖 gnutls_x509_crt_set_pubkey(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the gnutls manual — this one's a lil function page, and yes it's exactly as niche and exactly as useful as it sounds 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_x509_crt_set_pubkey — it's an API function, and it does exactly one job: gluing a public key onto a certificate 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <gnutls/abstract.h>

int gnutls_x509_crt_set_pubkey(gnutls_x509_crt_t crt, gnutls_pubkey_t
key);

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • gnutls_x509_crt_t crt — bestie this one should contain a gnutls_x509_crt_t type. that's the whole vibe check for this argument 💅
  • gnutls_pubkey_t key — and this one holds a public key. that's it. that's the whole thing ✨

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so, the way this works: this function will set the public parameters from the given public key to the certificate. literally just moves the public params over. and here's the slay part — the key can be deallocated after that. so you don't have to keep it around forever, she's done her job, let her go 🦋

✨ RETURNS ✨

on success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned. otherwise you get a negative error value, which is giving "something went wrong and it's not telling you nicely" 😭

✨ SINCE ✨

2.12.0 — she's been iconic since way back ⭐
