💖 gnutls_x509_othername_to_virtual 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the gnutls manual, and today's main character is gnutls_x509_othername_to_virtual — an API function, no big deal, just casually converting othername data into something gnutls can actually vibe with ✨

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_x509_othername_to_virtual — API function 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <gnutls/x509-ext.h>

int gnutls_x509_othername_to_virtual(const char * oid, const
       gnutls_datum_t * othername, unsigned int * virt_type, gnutls_datum_t *
       virt);

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • const char * oid — the othername object identifier, aka the little ID badge this othername is wearing 🪪
  • const gnutls_datum_t * othername — the othername data itself, the actual goods 💅
  • unsigned int * virt_type — GNUTLS_SAN_OTHERNAME_XXX, the virtual type it's gonna get sorted into ✨
  • gnutls_datum_t * virt — allocated printable data, so it comes out looking cute and readable 🎀

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

This function will parse and convert the othername data to a virtual type supported by gnutls. literally its whole job. it takes the othername, does the mental math, and hands you back a virtual type that gnutls already knows and loves 💖 no cap.

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value. so like — zero means we ate, negative means we did NOT eat 😭
