✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to NE_SSL_DNAME(3) from the neon API reference 💖 this page is all about SSL distinguished name handling, starring two absolute icons: ne_ssl_readable_dname and ne_ssl_dname_cmp 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <ne_ssl.h>

const char *ne_ssl_readable_dname(const ne_ssl_dname *dname);

int ne_ssl_dname_cmp(const ne_ssl_dname *dn1, const ne_ssl_dname *dn2);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

ne_ssl_readable_dname takes an ne_ssl_dname object and creates a single-line, human-readable string out of it. The way it gives useful text from a dname object? obsessed. The returned string is malloc()-allocated, and — important, bestie — it must be free()d by the caller 🫶

ne_ssl_dname_cmp compares two distinguished names and returns zero if they are equal, or non-zero otherwise. lowkey simple, highkey iconic 💅

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

ne_ssl_readable_dname returns a malloc-allocated string, and never NULL. no cap, it always comes through with a string for you 😭💖

⭐ EXAMPLES ⭐

See ne_ssl_cert_subject(3) for an example use of ne_ssl_readable_dname ✨
