SYNOPSIS         top

ARGUMENTS         top

       gnutls_x509_crt_t cert

DESCRIPTION         top

       This function will return certificates CA status, by reading the
       basicConstraints X.509 extension (2.5.29.19). If the certificate is a
       CA a positive value will be returned, or (0) if the certificate does
       not have CA flag set.
       Use gnutls_x509_crt_get_basic_constraints() if you want to read the
       pathLenConstraint field too.

RETURNS         top

       If the certificate is a CA a positive value will be returned, or (0)
       if the certificate does not have CA flag set.  A negative error code
       may be returned in case of errors.  If the certificate does not
       contain the basicConstraints extension
       GNUTLS_E_REQUESTED_DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE will be returned.
