💖 gnutls_x509_ext_export_inhibit_anypolicy(3) 💖

okay bestie so this one lives in the gnutls manual, and it's literally the glow-up function for the Inhibit AnyPolicy PKIX extension. she takes a number, she hands you DER. no cap. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

gnutls_x509_ext_export_inhibit_anypolicy — it's an API function, periodt.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <gnutls/x509-ext.h>

int gnutls_x509_ext_export_inhibit_anypolicy(unsigned int skipcerts,
gnutls_datum_t * ext);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • unsigned int skipcerts — the number of certificates that can go by before anypolicy stops being acceptable. like, after this many, we're done, we're out, bye. 🙈
  • gnutls_datum_t * ext — the DER-encoded extension data. and listen, bestie, you must free this with gnutls_free(). not free(). not vibes. gnutls_free(). 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so the way that this works is: you give her a skipcerts value, and she converts it into a DER encoded Inhibit AnyPolicy PKIX extension. that's it. that's the whole job. main character energy honestly. 👑

the ext data gets allocated using gnutls_malloc(), so it's gnutls's memory, and gnutls's rules apply. remember the free situation from the ARGUMENTS section. i'm not gonna let you forget. 🫶

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

if everything slays: GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (that's 0) comes back to you. 🌈

if not: a negative error value. so like, check it. fr fr. 😭

🌸 SINCE 🌸

3.6.0 — she's been iconic since 3.6.0, iykyk.
