💖 NAME 💖

gnutls_x509_privkey_import_rsa_raw — bestie it's an API function, and it's the one that takes your raw RSA numbers and turns them into a whole real key 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_privkey_import_rsa_raw(gnutls_x509_privkey_t key, const
gnutls_datum_t * m, const gnutls_datum_t * e, const gnutls_datum_t * d,
const gnutls_datum_t * p, const gnutls_datum_t * q, const gnutls_datum_t
* u);

okay so that's a LOT of arguments but we're gonna go through every single one, no skipping, promise 🫶

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • gnutls_x509_privkey_t key — the lil container where the parsed key is gonna live. it's the data to store the parsed key, like the cute lil box everything gets dropped into 💅
  • const gnutls_datum_t * m — holds the modulus. that's the big N energy, literally 🌈
  • const gnutls_datum_t * e — holds the public exponent. yes, the famous 65537 one, iykyk ⭐
  • const gnutls_datum_t * d — holds the private exponent. secret. do NOT leak this one bestie 😭
  • const gnutls_datum_t * p — holds the first prime (p) 🍓
  • const gnutls_datum_t * q — holds the second prime (q) 🧚
  • const gnutls_datum_t * u — holds the coefficient 👑
fr fr, d, p, q and u are the secret sauce. guard them with your life. 🔒

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so this function will convert the given RSA raw parameters into the native gnutls_x509_privkey_t format. like, glow-up transformation, raw numbers in, ✨valid key object✨ out.

the output will be stored in key.

that's it, that's the whole vibe. she takes your modular bits and bobs and makes them a real, usable private key. ate 💅

🎀 RETURNS 🎀

on success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned — iconic, zero, flawless, no notes ✨

otherwise you get a negative error value. so like, if it's negative, something went sideways and you should go read that error code. not the slay you were hoping for 😔
