NAME         top

       gnutls_privkey_sign_hash - API function

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <gnutls/abstract.h>
       int gnutls_privkey_sign_hash(gnutls_privkey_t signer,
       gnutls_digest_algorithm_t hash_algo, unsigned int flags, const
       gnutls_datum_t * hash_data, gnutls_datum_t * signature);

ARGUMENTS         top

       gnutls_privkey_t signer
                   Holds the signer's key
       gnutls_digest_algorithm_t hash_algo
                   The hash algorithm used
       unsigned int flags
                   Zero or one of gnutls_privkey_flags_t
       const gnutls_datum_t * hash_data
                   holds the data to be signed
       gnutls_datum_t * signature
                   will contain newly allocated signature

DESCRIPTION         top

       This function will sign the given hashed data using a signature
       algorithm supported by the private key. Signature algorithms are
       always used together with a hash functions.  Different hash functions
       may be used for the RSA algorithm, but only SHA-XXX for the DSA keys.
       You may use gnutls_pubkey_get_preferred_hash_algorithm() to determine
       the hash algorithm.
       Note that if GNUTLS_PRIVKEY_SIGN_FLAG_TLS1_RSA flag is specified this
       function will ignore  hash_algo and perform a raw PKCS1 signature.

RETURNS         top

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

SINCE         top

       2.12.0
