💖 shishi_priv_encprivpart_der(3) — the shishi girlie's guide 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let's talk about shishi_priv_encprivpart_der, a little function from the shishi manual (section 3, the library section, iykyk). she's not flashy but she's important, and honestly? she ate. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

shishi_priv_encprivpart_der — it's an API function, bestie. that's the whole vibe.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

lowkey the moment you've been waiting for:

#include <shishi.h>

int shishi_priv_encprivpart_der(Shishi_priv * priv, char ** out, size_t
* outlen);

look at her. three args. no drama. 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • Shishi_priv * priv — your priv, bestie. as in, the one you got from shishi_priv(). not a random priv. the priv.
  • char ** out — the output array, and it's gonna be filled with a freshly allocated DER encoding of ENCPRIVPART. brand new. fresh out the box. ✨
  • size_t * outlen — the length of that output array, aka how many bytes of DER-encoded ENCPRIVPART you're working with. she's telling you how big it is. so thoughtful.

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what does she actually do? she DER encodes the ENCPRIVPART structure. that's it, that's the job, and she does it flawlessly, no cap.

but listen, this part matters, okay? out is allocated by this function, which means it is the responsibility of the caller to deallocate it. that's you. you're the caller. you're the main character here. nobody else is gonna free that memory for you, bestie — that's your job now. don't ghost your malloc'd memory, it's not cute. 😭

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

returns SHISHI_OK iff successful. that's the good ending. we love a happy ending. 🫶
