NNG_TLS_ENGINE_DESCRIPTION(3tls)

💖 nng_tls_engine_description — TLS engine description 💖

okay so bestie, you've stumbled into section 3tls of the NNG Reference Manual, and this page is short but it's exactly the kind of function you want in your back pocket when things get weird. ✨

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <nng/supplemental/tls/tls.h>

const char *nng_tls_engine_description(void);

like that's it. no args, no drama, no parameters to remember. she takes nothing and she gives you a string. 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so the way that nng_tls_engine_description() works is: it hands you back a short description of whatever the current TLS engine is. that's it. that's the whole job. iconic honestly.

and like — here's the part you need to clock, bestie — if no engine is registered, you don't get NULL or a crash or anything cursed like that. you get the empty string, "". literally just vibes and nothing else. 🫶

so what is this even for? principally, it's for diagnostic purposes. it's giving "let me check what's going on in here real quick." like when you're debugging and you just wanna know which engine you're actually talking to. iykyk. it's a vibe check for your TLS layer. 🔥

ngl this is not a function that does heavy lifting. she's a little peek behind the curtain. but that's her whole purpose and she ate. 👑

---

⭐ RETURN VALUES ⭐

The description of the engine of the engine. 💀 (yes, for real, that's what it says, and honestly? no notes, we're keeping it.)

like, to be clear: you get back the description. of the engine. 💖

---

🎀 ERRORS 🎀

None. 😌 not a single one. no errno situation, no return-code lecture, nothing to memorize. she simply cannot fail you. slay.
