NAME         top

       gnutls_x509_ext_import_name_constraints - API function

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <gnutls/x509-ext.h>
       int gnutls_x509_ext_import_name_constraints(const gnutls_datum_t *
       ext, gnutls_x509_name_constraints_t nc, unsigned int flags);

ARGUMENTS         top

       const gnutls_datum_t * ext
                   a DER encoded extension
       gnutls_x509_name_constraints_t nc
                   The nameconstraints
       unsigned int flags
                   zero or GNUTLS_NAME_CONSTRAINTS_FLAG_APPEND

DESCRIPTION         top

       This function will return an intermediate type containing the name
       constraints of the provided NameConstraints extension. That can be
       used in combination with gnutls_x509_name_constraints_check() to
       verify whether a server's name is in accordance with the constraints.
       When the  flags is set to GNUTLS_NAME_CONSTRAINTS_FLAG_APPEND, then
       if the  nc type is empty this function will behave identically as if
       the flag was not set.  Otherwise if there are elements in the  nc
       structure then the constraints will be merged with the existing
       constraints following RFC5280 p6.1.4 (excluded constraints will be
       appended, permitted will be intersected).
       Note that  nc must be initialized prior to calling this function.

RETURNS         top

       On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned,
       GNUTLS_E_REQUESTED_DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE if the extension is not
       present, otherwise a negative error value.
