💅 pskc_get_signed_p(3) — the libpskc glow-up

okay so bestie, welcome to the libpskc corner of the manual, page three of pskc_get_signed_p. yes it's a mouthful, no we're not renaming it, and honestly? iconic of it.

🌸 NAME 🌸

pskc_get_signed_p — literally just an API function, that's the whole vibe 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <pskc.h>

int pskc_get_signed_p(pskc_t * container);

that's it. that's the whole thing. short, sweet, slays 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • pskc_t * container — a pskc_t handle, and you get it from pskc_init(). like, that's where it comes from, no cap. don't just make one up out of nowhere bestie 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what does this actually do? it checks whether the container is signed or not. that's it. that's the function. main character energy for real ✨

🚨 but listen — and this is the important part — it does not validate the signature. it merely checks whether there is one. so if you were hoping this was your security check, it is not, and I need you to know that before you go build something on top of it 😭 like it's giving "yes there's a Signature element in the building" and not giving "yes the signature is legit". two very different things, bestie.

👑 RETURNS 👑

  • a non-0 value if the container contains a Signature element 💀
  • 0 if there is no Signature element

so: nonzero = there's a signature, zero = nope, nothing there. simple. clean. ate. 🔥
