page_cert(3)

✨ NAME ✨

page_cert — the basic certificate, bestie 💖

okay so we're in the Heimdal x509 library (page_cert(3), section 3, library functions, iykyk) and we're talking about the basic hx509 certificate object in hx509, which is hx509_cert 🎀

🦋 the vibe

The hx509_cert object is representing one X509/PKIX certificate and its associated attributes — like the private key, the friendly name, etc. ✨ That's it, that's the whole serve.

🌸 how you actually get one

A hx509_cert object is usually found via the keyset interfaces (aka Certificate store operations) 👑

but it's also possible to create a certificate directly from a parsed object with hx509_cert_init() and hx509_cert_init_data() 💅

🧚 go look at the functions

See the library functions here: hx509 certificate functions 🫶

lowkey the whole point: hx509_cert = one X509/PKIX cert + its attributes (private key, friendly name, etc.), found via keyset interfaces or built straight from a parsed object with hx509_cert_init() / hx509_cert_init_data(). no cap 💖
