💖 gnutls_x509_spki_init(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the gnutls manual, and today we're getting into gnutls_x509_spki_init — an API function, no cap. she's small, she's simple, she's iconic. let's go ✨

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_x509_spki_init — API function 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_spki_init(gnutls_x509_spki_t * spki);

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • gnutls_x509_spki_t * spki — a pointer to the type you want initialized 💅 she has to be a pointer, okay? we're setting her up for greatness.

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so here's the tea: this function initializes a SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure — the kind that gets used in PKIX. and the way that structure works? it's literally there so you can set additional parameters in the public key information field of a certificate. that's the whole job. she does one thing and she does it well 🫶

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

when it goes right, you get GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (which is 0, the good number, the slay number 💖). and if it doesn't go right? you get a negative error value instead. sad girl hours, but at least you know 😭

🌈 SINCE 🌈

3.6.0 — she's been around, she's a veteran, she's got history 👑
