GNUTLS_X509_PRIVKEY_IMPORT_ECC_RAW(3)

✨ gnutls_x509_privkey_import_ecc_raw ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because this one is a little cryptographic glow-up and it's from the gnutls manual 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

gnutls_x509_privkey_import_ecc_raw — literally just an API function, no cap 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_privkey_import_ecc_raw(gnutls_x509_privkey_t key,
gnutls_ecc_curve_t curve, const gnutls_datum_t * x, const gnutls_datum_t
* y, const gnutls_datum_t * k);

that's the whole vibe right there 👑

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• gnutls_x509_privkey_t key — bestie this is the data to store the parsed key, like it's the lil container the whole thing moves into 🏠
• gnutls_ecc_curve_t curve — holds the curve, that's it, that's the job
• const gnutls_datum_t * x — holds the x-coordinate 📍
• const gnutls_datum_t * y — holds the y-coordinate 📍
• const gnutls_datum_t * k — holds the k 🔑

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the way this works: this function will convert the given elliptic curve parameters into the native gnutls_x509_privkey_t format. the output gets stored in key — that's where it lives now, periodt 💅

and hmm, one tiny but important thing: for EdDSA keys, the x and k values must be in the native to curve format. like, don't just hand it any old bytes, it has to match the curve's own format or it's giving chaos 😭

---

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

on success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned 🎉 otherwise you get a negative error value, which is the function's way of saying "not me being dramatic but something went wrong" 💀
