✨ gnutls_x509_ext_export_aia(3) ✨

okay bestie, so this one lives in the gnutls manual, and it's about turning your Authority Information Access stuff into actual DER bytes. it's giving "encoder era" and honestly? iconic. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

gnutls_x509_ext_export_aia — literally just an API function, that's it, that's the whole job 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <gnutls/x509-ext.h>

int gnutls_x509_ext_export_aia(gnutls_x509_aia_t aia, gnutls_datum_t *
ext);

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • gnutls_x509_aia_t aia — the authority info access. yes, THE authority info access. it's right there in the name, she's the main character 👑
  • gnutls_datum_t * ext — the DER-encoded extension data. and listen, this one you MUST free using gnutls_free(). no cap. not free(), not vibes, gnutls_free(). don't leak her fr fr 😭

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so this function DER encodes the Authority Information Access (AIA) extension. that's the whole thing bestie. 💫

if you want the actual lore, check RFC 5280 section 4.2.2.1 — that's where the extension gets explained properly, and it's lowkey required reading iykyk 📚

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

on success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (which is 0, she's humble like that) gets returned. 🫶

otherwise you get a negative error value and it's giving sad girl hours 💀

🧚 SINCE 🧚

3.3.0 — an elder, honestly. been here since forever and still serving 🌸
