💖 gnutls_x509_pri..._export_ecc_raw(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the gnutls manual — this one's a lil page about yanking an ECC private key's raw bits out of a gnutls_x509_privkey_t. yes, raw. no cap. let's go 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_x509_privkey_export_ecc_raw — API function 🌸

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_privkey_export_ecc_raw(gnutls_x509_privkey_t key,
gnutls_ecc_curve_t * curve, gnutls_datum_t * x, gnutls_datum_t * y,
gnutls_datum_t * k);

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• gnutls_x509_privkey_t key — a key 💅 like, the actual key you're tryna export from, the main character here
• gnutls_ecc_curve_t * curve — will hold the curve 🎀 it's an out-param, so it gets filled in for you
• gnutls_datum_t * x — will hold the x-coordinate ⭐
• gnutls_datum_t * y — will hold the y-coordinate ✨
• gnutls_datum_t * k — will hold the private key 👑 the secret one, okurrr

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So this function exports the ECC private key's parameters that were found in the given structure. that's the whole vibe. the new parameters get allocated using gnutls_malloc() and they get stored in the appropriate datum — so like, you own that memory, bestie, don't forget it exists 🙈

In EdDSA curves the y parameter will be NULL and the other parameters will be in the native format for the curve. yes, NULL. not a typo, not a glitch, just how EdDSA does it 🦋 iykyk.

---

✨ RETURNS ✨

On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned. otherwise you get a negative error value 😭 that's the bad timeline, check it.

✨ SINCE ✨

3.0 — an og, fr fr 💜
