💅 pskc_set_key_policy_pinusagemode — the libpskc glow-up

okay so bestie, real talk: this is a libpskc function page, and the function is pskc_set_key_policy_pinusagemode. yes it's a mouthful. yes you're gonna say it out loud once and then just point at it. we move 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <pskc.h>

void pskc_set_key_policy_pinusagemode(pskc_key_t * key,
pskc_pinusagemode pinusagemode);

literally that's it. she's a setter. she sets. no return value, no drama (the return type is void, we love a queen with nothing to prove 🫶).

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • pskc_key_t * key — your handle, bestie. it's a pskc_key_t and you get it from pskc_get_keypackage(). that's the sourcing, that's the vibe check, don't skip it 💖
  • pskc_pinusagemode pinusagemode — the actual pskc_pinusagemode value you're setting. that's the whole point of the function. that's the main character ✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's what's happening 👑

This sets the PSKC KeyPackage Key Policy PINPolicy PINUsageMode value. say it with me. it's a lot of words but they're all doing their job, no filler, no fluff.

And this attribute? it's mandatory. not optional, not "if you feel like it", not "when the stars align". mandatory mandatory. and what does it do? it indicates the way the PIN is used during the usage of the key. that's the whole thing. the usage mode of the PIN, in the usage of the key. iconic. it's giving "read the label". periodt 💅

no hidden lore here — the manpage says exactly this and nothing more, so I'm not about to invent extra behaviour for you. fr fr 🙈

⭐ SINCE ⭐

2.2.0 — she's been around, she's established, she's not new here 👑
