NAME

gnutls_x509_crt_get_issuer_dn3 - API function

SYNOPSIS

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_crt_get_issuer_dn3(gnutls_x509_crt_t cert, gnutls_datum_t * dn, unsigned flags);

ARGUMENTS

gnutls_x509_crt_t cert: should contain a gnutls_x509_crt_t type
gnutls_datum_t * dn: a pointer to a structure to hold the name; must be freed using gnutls_free()
unsigned flags: zero or GNUTLS_X509_DN_FLAG_COMPAT

DESCRIPTION

This function will allocate buffer and copy the name of issuer of the Certificate. The name will be in the form "C=xxxx,O=yyyy,CN=zzzz" as described in RFC4514. The output string will be ASCII or UTF-8 encoded, depending on the certificate data.

When the flag GNUTLS_X509_DN_FLAG_COMPAT is specified, the output format will match the format output by previous to 3.5.6 versions of GnuTLS which was not not fully RFC4514-compliant.

RETURNS

On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value.

SINCE

3.5.7
