💖 gnutls_x509_privkey_cpy(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the gnutls manual page for gnutls_x509_privkey_cpy, and yes she is exactly as iconic as she sounds. this is the one that lets you clone a private key, no cap. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_x509_privkey_cpy — API function. that's the whole name. short, sweet, main character energy 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_privkey_cpy(gnutls_x509_privkey_t dst,
gnutls_x509_privkey_t src);

like. the way that signature just sits there. beautiful. 🦋

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • gnutls_x509_privkey_t dst — the destination key, and heads up bestie, it should be initialized first. she needs to exist before you go filling her up, fr fr.
  • gnutls_x509_privkey_t src — the source key. the original. the blueprint. the one we're copying from 💜

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so here's the tea: this function copies a private key from the source over to the destination key. that's it. that's the whole job and she does it flawlessly.

⚠️ real talk though — the destination has to be initialized. don't be out here passing an uninitialized key, that's not the vibe. ✋

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

on success you get GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (which is 0, iconic) returned to you. literally the best feeling.

otherwise? you get a negative error value. 😭 so like, always check your return value babes, it's giving self-care.
