✨ gnutls_x509_pri...et_pk_algorithm(3) ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the gnutls manual and it's literally all about one tiny little function that tells you what kind of public key is hiding inside your private key 🎀

💖 NAME 💖

gnutls_x509_privkey_get_pk_algorithm — it's an API function, no cap 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_privkey_get_pk_algorithm(gnutls_x509_privkey_t key);

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • gnutls_x509_privkey_t key — bestie this should contain a gnutls_x509_privkey_t type, that's the whole vibe 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So the way that this works: this function will return the public key algorithm of a private key. That's it. That's the tea. 🍓

👑 RETURNS 👑

It hands you back a member of the gnutls_pk_algorithm_t enumeration when it slays 💖 — or a negative error code on error 😭 (yes, negative, do not ignore it, it's giving "something went wrong").

lowkey the most important thing here: read your return value. a negative number is not a vibe check, it's an error. periodt 💀

ok that's the whole page bestie, mwah 💅✨ this was gnutls version 3.8.13, from the gnutls_x509_pri...et_pk_algorithm(3) manual — go forth and go get that pk algorithm, i'm obsessed with you 🫶💜
