ldns(3)

💖 ldns — the key-converting girlies (manual section 3, bestie) 💖

okay so this is the ldns(3) library functions manual, and today's main characters are ldns_key_buf2dsa and ldns_key_buf2rsa — they turn a buffer into an openssl key. no cap, that's literally the whole vibe.

---

✨ NAME ✨

ldns_key_buf2dsa, ldns_key_buf2rsa — convert buffer to openssl key

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdbool.h>

#include <ldns/ldns.h>

DSA* ldns_key_buf2dsa(const ldns_buffer *key);

RSA* ldns_key_buf2rsa(const ldns_buffer *key);

like yes bestie, those are the exact includes, don't skip them, they're giving necessary 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

ldns_key_buf2dsa() converts a buffer holding key material to a DSA key in openssl.

• key: the key to convert
• Returns a DSA * structure with the key material

ldns_key_buf2rsa() converts a buffer holding key material to a RSA key in openssl.

• key: the key to convert
• Returns a RSA * structure with the key material

so yeah, two functions, both taking a const ldns_buffer * named key, both handing you back a pointer to an openssl key structure stuffed with that key material. one is DSA, one is RSA. pick your fighter, they're both slaying 🔥
