💖 gnutls_x509_dn_import(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the gnutls manual, page for gnutls_x509_dn_import — yes it's an API function, and yes it's iconic. pull up a chair. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_x509_dn_import — an API function, periodt.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_dn_import(gnutls_x509_dn_t dn, const gnutls_datum_t *
data);

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • gnutls_x509_dn_t dn — the structure that will hold the imported DN. it's giving ✨empty vessel ready to receive✨, she's the main character here.
  • const gnutls_datum_t * data — should contain a DER encoded RDN sequence. that's the payload, bestie, that's what we're importing.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so the way this works: this function parses an RDN sequence and stores the result into a gnutls_x509_dn_t type. cute, right? 🫶

but listen — the data must have been initialized with gnutls_x509_dn_init() first. no skipping that step, that's non-negotiable, that's the vibe check you must pass. 🙈

and once you've got your DN all cozy in there, you may use gnutls_x509_dn_get_rdn_ava() to decode the DN. that's your next move, iykyk. 🔥

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

on success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned. anything else? a negative error value, and we do not claim that. 😭

🌈 SINCE 🌈

2.4.0 — she's been around, she's a legacy icon, lowkey vintage 👑
