💅 pskc_get_key_algparm_resp_length — from the libpskc girlies (section 3, mwah) 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the libpskc corner of the manual, section 3, and today's main character is pskc_get_key_algparm_resp_length. she's a getter. she gets things. specifically one thing. let's go ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

pskc_get_key_algparm_resp_length — literally an API function, that's the whole job description 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <pskc.h>

uint32_t pskc_get_key_algparm_resp_length(pskc_key_t * key, int *
present);

like, that's it. that's the whole vibe. include the header, call the function, receive a uint32_t. slay 💅

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • pskc_key_t * key — a pskc_key_t handle, and you get it from pskc_get_keypackage(). don't just make one up out of nowhere, that's not the vibe 🙈
  • int * present — an output variable that tells you whether the data was actually provided or not. it's giving "receipts" 🧾

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so what does she actually do? she gets the PSKC KeyPackage Key AlgorithmParameters ResponseFormat Length value. yes that's a lot of words, i know, breathe. 😮‍💨

this attribute defines the length of the response generated by the device and MUST be included — like, not optional, not "if you feel like it", it's a must, periodt 👑

and here's the part where the encoding matters, so pay attention bestie:

  • if the 'Encoding' attribute is set to 'DECIMAL', 'HEXADECIMAL', or ALPHANUMERIC, this value indicates the number of digits/characters. 🔢
  • if the 'Encoding' attribute is set to 'BASE64' or 'BINARY', this value indicates the number of bytes of the unencoded value. 🧬

(yeah, ALPHANUMERIC is unquoted in the original and the others are quoted — i don't make the rules, i just report them faithfully 💀)

also, if present is non-NULL, it will be 0 if the field is not present or 1 if it was present. simple as that. no cap. 🫡

🔥 RETURNS 🔥

an integer holding the content. that's it. that's the return. she's an integer and she holds content and we love her for it 💜

ngl the whole "MUST be included" thing is real — if you're skipping that attribute, that's not a vibe check you're passing 💀

and that's the page!! this iconic little number came to you from libpskc, version 2.6.15 — mwah, bye bestie, go get those response format lengths 🦋💖🎀
