💅 NAME 💅

gnutls_x509_ext_export_basic_constraints — bestie, this is the API function that packs up basic constraints into a DER extension ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/x509-ext.h>

int gnutls_x509_ext_export_basic_constraints(unsigned int ca, int
pathlen, gnutls_datum_t * ext);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • unsigned int ca — okay so if this is non-zero, congrats, you're saying it's a CA 👑
  • int pathlen — the path length constraint. Set it to -1 if you literally want no constraint at all, no cap 🙅‍♀️
  • gnutls_datum_t * ext — the DER-encoded extension data that comes out of this. Heads up bestie: it must be freed using gnutls_free(). Don't ghost it, free it 💀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This function will convert the parameters provided to a basic constraints DER encoded extension (2.5.29.19). The ext data will be allocated using gnutls_malloc(). So like, it's giving "here's your extension, made fresh, you own it now" ✨

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned — slay 🎉 Otherwise you get a negative error value, which is the universe's way of saying not today 😭

🌈 SINCE 🌈

3.3.0 — she's been iconic since day one, iykyk 💜
