gnutls_fingerprint(3)              gnutls              gnutls_fingerprint(3)

NAME         top

       gnutls_fingerprint - API function

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
       int gnutls_fingerprint(gnutls_digest_algorithm_t algo, const
       gnutls_datum_t * data, void * result, size_t * result_size);

ARGUMENTS         top

       gnutls_digest_algorithm_t algo
                   is a digest algorithm
       const gnutls_datum_t * data
                   is the data
       void * result
                   is the place where the result will be copied (may be
                   null).
       size_t * result_size
                   should hold the size of the result. The actual size of
                   the returned result will also be copied there.

DESCRIPTION         top

       This function will calculate a fingerprint (actually a hash), of the
       given data.  The result is not printable data.  You should convert it
       to hex, or to something else printable.
       This is the usual way to calculate a fingerprint of an X.509 DER
       encoded certificate.  Note however that the fingerprint of an OpenPGP
       certificate is not just a hash and cannot be calculated with this
       function.

RETURNS         top

       On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise an error code
       is returned.
