✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_x509_ext_export_private_key_usage_period — bestie, this is an API function 💖 it's part of the gnutls manual, and it's the one that packages up a private key usage period as a DER extension for you.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <gnutls/x509-ext.h>

int gnutls_x509_ext_export_private_key_usage_period(time_t activation,
time_t expiration, gnutls_datum_t * ext);

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • time_t activation — the activation time, aka when the clock starts ticking ⏰
  • time_t expiration — the expiration time, aka when it's over, done, finished 💀
  • gnutls_datum_t * ext — the DER-encoded extension data 🫶 and listen, you must free this with gnutls_free(). Not free(), not vibes, gnutls_free(). Periodt.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so here's the tea: this function takes the periods you hand it and converts them into a private key usage DER encoded extension, specifically 2.5.29.16 ✨

The way the ext data gets allocated is with gnutls_malloc(). That's the whole assignment. She ate and left no crumbs 💖

🔥 RETURNS 🔥

On success you get GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) back, and it's giving main character energy 👑

Otherwise? A negative error value 😭 not the vibe, but at least it's honest.

🦋 SINCE 🦋

3.3.0 — an icon, a legend, and she's been here a minute ⭐

Anyway bestie, that's the whole page — gnutls 3.8.13, manual page gnutls_x509_ex...ey_usage_period(3), and yes the man page header itself really does abbreviate the name like that, iykyk 💜 stay slaying, go free your datum, mwah 🎀
