Description [src]

Get a TLS certificate and private key pair.

This ensures a TLS certificate with the filename certificate.pem and private key with filename private.pem exist in a directory at path.

If either one doesn’t exist, a new certificate and private key pair will be generated. The common name will be set to a string returned by valent_device_generate_id().

If either generating or loading the certificate fails, NULL will be returned with error set.
