💖 gnutls_x509_privkey_get_pk_algorithm2(3) 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about this lil guy from the gnutls manual 💅 it lives in section 3, it's an API function, and it's literally the moment where you ask a private key "hey babe, what public key algorithm are you?" 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_x509_privkey_get_pk_algorithm2 — API function 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_privkey_get_pk_algorithm2(gnutls_x509_privkey_t key,
unsigned int * bits);

no cap, that's the whole flex. two args, one int coming back at you 🎀

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • gnutls_x509_privkey_t key — bestie this one should contain a gnutls_x509_privkey_t type. that's the whole job description, it's giving "be the private key, please" 💜
  • unsigned int * bits — this is where the number of bits in the public key algorithm gets dropped off. it's a pointer, so it's writing back to you, main character energy fr fr ✨

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

This function will return the public key algorithm of a private key. that's it. that's the tea ☕ it looks at your key and goes "oh, I know her" and hands you back the algorithm. iconic behaviour, honestly 🌈

🔥 RETURNS 🔥

on success you get a member of the gnutls_pk_algorithm_t enumeration — slay 💅

on error you get a negative error code — not slay 😭 so like, check for that, okay? don't be out here assuming everything's fine.
