✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_x509_ext_export_authority_key_id — it's an API function, bestie 💖 and it lives in the gnutls manual. Yes, the page header is doing the truncated-name thing (gnutls_x509_ex...uthority_key_id(3)) but we all know who she is.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <gnutls/x509-ext.h>

int gnutls_x509_ext_export_authority_key_id(gnutls_x509_aki_t aki,
                                            gnutls_datum_t * ext);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • gnutls_x509_aki_t aki — an authority key identifier that's already been initialized. Like, she's awake and ready, no cap. 💅
  • gnutls_datum_t * ext — the DER-encoded extension data. Heads up bestie, you must free this using gnutls_free(). Not optional, not a vibe, just do it. 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so here's the tea ☕ — this function takes the key identifier you handed it and converts it into a DER-encoded PKIX AuthorityKeyIdentifier extension. That's the whole plot. 🎬

And the output data sitting in ext? It gets allocated using gnutls_malloc(), so you already know what that means for cleanup (see above, we talked about this 💀).

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

On success you get GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (which is 0, iconic), and otherwise you get a negative error value. Slay if it's zero, cry if it's negative. 😭

🌈 SINCE 🌈
