💅 shishi_der2asn1_kdcreq — bestie, it's a section 3 manual page from the shishi crew ✨

okay so real talk, this page lives in section 3 of the shishi manual, and it's here to walk you through one (1) very specific little function. grab a strawberry 🍓, we're doing this.

🌸 NAME 🌸

shishi_der2asn1_kdcreq — it's an API function, bestie. that's literally its whole job description and honestly? iconic.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <shishi.h>

Shishi_asn1 shishi_der2asn1_kdcreq(Shishi * handle, const char * der,
       size_t derlen);

look at that. three args, one return, no drama. we love a low-maintenance signature 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • Shishi * handle — the shishi handle, and no you can't just make one up, it's gotta be allocated by shishi_init(). that's the rules, bestie.
  • const char * der — your input character array holding the DER encoding. it's const, so hands off, we're just reading 💅
  • size_t derlen — the length of that input character array with the DER encoding in it. yes you have to tell it how long your bytes are. it's not psychic, it's a C library.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what does it actually DO? it decodes the DER encoding of an AS-REQ, a TGS-REQ or a KDC-REQ and creates an ASN.1 structure out of it.

that's it. that's the whole plot. bytes go in, shiny ASN.1 structure comes out. the way it just transforms them 😭

🌈 RETURN VALUE 🌈

it returns the ASN.1 structure that corresponds to your DER data. give it bytes, get a structure. slay.

🙈 REPORTING BUGS 🙈

found a bug? not the vibe, but okay, tell the people. report bugs to <bug-shishi@gnu.org>.

they're nice, they'll help you out 🫶
