💖 gnutls_x509_privkey_set_spki — an API function, bestie 💖

okay so this one lives in the gnutls manual (that's the manual name, bestie, and we're on version 3.8.13 if you're keeping receipts). It's a lil function called gnutls_x509_privkey_set_spki and honestly? It's giving "quiet overachiever." Let's get into it. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_privkey_set_spki(gnutls_x509_privkey_t key, const
gnutls_x509_spki_t spki, unsigned int flags);

like, look at that signature. three arguments, one int coming back at you. no cap. 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • gnutls_x509_privkey_t key — bestie this should contain a gnutls_x509_privkey_t type. that's the vibe. that's the assignment. 🫶
  • const gnutls_x509_spki_t spki — a SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure, of type gnutls_x509_spki_t. iconic structure, honestly. 🌈
  • unsigned int flags — must be zero. that's it. zero. not one, not "a little bit", ZERO. 🚫✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this function will return the public key information of a private key. yes, you read that right, it's giving public info from a private key, the duality of woman. 😭

And important, bestie: the spki you provide must be initialized. like, don't just roll up with an uninitialized spki, that's not the move. initialize her first. 💅

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

  • Zero on success 👑
  • or a negative error code on error 💀

that's the whole return story. zero = slay, negative = not slay.
