NAME
       gnutls_x509_crt_get_basic_constraints - API function


SYNOPSIS
       #include <gnutls/x509.h>

       int gnutls_x509_crt_get_basic_constraints(gnutls_x509_crt_t cert, unsigned int * critical,
       unsigned int * ca, int * pathlen);


ARGUMENTS
       gnutls_x509_crt_t cert
                   should contain a gnutls_x509_crt_t type

       unsigned int * critical
                   will be non-zero if the extension is marked as critical

       unsigned int * ca
                   pointer to output integer indicating CA status, may be NULL, value is 1 if the
                   certificate CA flag is set, 0 otherwise.

       int * pathlen
                   pointer  to  output integer indicating path length (may be NULL), non-negative
                   error codes indicate a present pathLenConstraint field and the  actual  value,
                   -1 indicate that the field is absent.


DESCRIPTION
       This  function  will read the certificate's basic constraints, and return the certificates
       CA status.  It reads the basicConstraints X.509 extension (2.5.29.19).


RETURNS
       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.
