💖 gnutls_x509_dn_init(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the gnutls manual — yes the actual gnutls manual, like the real one, and today's main character is gnutls_x509_dn_init. it's giving tiny function, huge glow-up energy. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_x509_dn_init — an API function, no cap. just a lil API function doing its lil API function thing 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_dn_init(gnutls_x509_dn_t * dn);

like, that's the whole vibe. one include, one call. iconic.

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • gnutls_x509_dn_t * dn — bestie this is the object to be initialized. it's the blank canvas, the empty notebook, the "we're about to make this a real Distinguished Name" moment. you hand it over, it gets set up. periodt. ✨

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so here's the tea: this function initializes a gnutls_x509_dn_t type. that's it, that's the job, and it does it well. lowkey flawless.

🚨 but listen, and listen closely: the object that comes back to you must be deallocated using gnutls_x509_dn_deinit(). do not ghost it. do not forget it. it is your responsibility now. no cap. 😭

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

  • on success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned 🎉 slay, we love a zero
  • otherwise, you get a negative error value 💀 not the vibe, but at least it tells you

🦋 SINCE 🦋

2.4.0 — been holding it down since way back, fr fr. a legacy icon 👑
