gnutls_x509_crt_get_dn(3)          gnutls          gnutls_x509_crt_get_dn(3)

NAME         top

       gnutls_x509_crt_get_dn - API function

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <gnutls/x509.h>
       int gnutls_x509_crt_get_dn(gnutls_x509_crt_t cert, char * buf, size_t
       * buf_size);

ARGUMENTS         top

       gnutls_x509_crt_t cert
                   should contain a gnutls_x509_crt_t type
       char * buf  a pointer to a structure to hold the name (may be null)
       size_t * buf_size
                   initially holds the size of  buf

DESCRIPTION         top

       This function will copy the name of the Certificate in the provided
       buffer. 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.
       If  buf is null then only the size will be filled.
       This function does not output a fully RFC4514 compliant string, if
       that is required see gnutls_x509_crt_get_dn3().

RETURNS         top

       GNUTLS_E_SHORT_MEMORY_BUFFER if the provided buffer is not long
       enough, and in that case the  buf_size will be updated with the
       required size. GNUTLS_E_REQUESTED_DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE if the DN does
       not exist, or another error value on error. On success 0 is returned.
