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.

       The  buf returned will be null terminated and the  buf_size will
       account for the trailing null. 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.
