💖 gnutls_x509_ext_export_proxy(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the gnutls manual page for gnutls_x509_ext_export_proxy. yes it's a mouthful, no you don't have to say it out loud. let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_x509_ext_export_proxy — literally just an API function, that's the whole vibe

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/x509-ext.h>

int gnutls_x509_ext_export_proxy(int pathLenConstraint, const char *
policyLanguage, const char * policy, size_t sizeof_policy,
gnutls_datum_t * ext);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • int pathLenConstraint — bestie listen. if you hand this a negative value, the path length constraint gets removed, periodt. if it's non-negative, that number becomes the length of the pathLenConstraints field. your call, your power 💅
  • const char * policyLanguage — the OID that describes the language of policy. it's giving "which language is this policy speaking" 🗣️
  • const char * policy — a uint8_t byte array holding the policy language. and yes, it can be NULL. iconic, honestly.
  • size_t sizeof_policy — the size of policy. the receipts, the measurements, the exact tea ☕
  • gnutls_datum_t * ext — the DER-encoded extension data ✨. important: you gotta free this yourself with gnutls_free(). she does not clean up after herself, that's on you 🫶

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so what does this function actually do? it takes all those parameters you just fed it and converts them into a proxyCertInfo extension. one glow-up, coming right up 💫

and the ext data? that gets allocated using gnutls_malloc(). noted, remembered, tattooed on my brain 🧠

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

slay on success: you get GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) 🎉

if it's not giving: you get a negative error value. 😭

🦋 SINCE 🦋

3.3.0 — she's been around, she's got history, she's a legend 👑
