✨ gnutls_x509_ext_import_policies ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the gnutls manual, this page is all about gnutls_x509_ext_import_policies(3) and honestly? she's a little baddie. let's get into it 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

gnutls_x509_ext_import_policies — it's an API function, no cap.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <gnutls/x509-ext.h>

int gnutls_x509_ext_import_policies(const gnutls_datum_t * ext,
gnutls_x509_policies_t policies, unsigned int flags);

like, that's the whole vibe right there. copy it exactly, don't freestyle it 🙈

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • const gnutls_datum_t * ext — this is the DER encoded extension data, so it's giving raw bytes and you gotta respect her for that 💅
  • gnutls_x509_policies_t policies — a pointer to an initialized policies. key word: initialized. she needs to be ready before you show up.
  • unsigned int flags — should be zero. that's it. that's the whole thing. zero. periodt.

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what does this function actually do? bestie, it will extract the certificate policy extension, and that extension's OID is 2.5.29.32 (iykyk), and then it stores it in the policies you handed it. that's the mission. that's the main character moment. 🫶

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

when everything slays, you get GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS which is literally 0 🎉 otherwise you get a negative error value, which is the universe telling you something went wrong 😭

🌈 SINCE 🌈

3.3.0 — she's been around, she's an icon, she's a legend, and she is the moment 👑

lowkey important: flags should be zero, and policies needs to be initialized first. don't skip the setup, bestie, that's how you end up with a negative return value and a bad vibe check 💅

and that's the page!! this was gnutls version 3.8.13, and yeah, the whole thing is from the gnutls manual — tysm for reading, mwah 💖✨🎀
