NAME
       gnutls_privkey_generate2 - API function


SYNOPSIS
       #include <gnutls/abstract.h>

       int  gnutls_privkey_generate2(gnutls_privkey_t  pkey,  gnutls_pk_algorithm_t  algo,  unsigned  int  bits,
       unsigned int flags, const gnutls_keygen_data_st * data, unsigned data_size);


ARGUMENTS
       gnutls_privkey_t pkey
                   The private key

       gnutls_pk_algorithm_t algo
                   is one of the algorithms in gnutls_pk_algorithm_t.

       unsigned int bits
                   the size of the modulus

       unsigned int flags
                   Must be zero or flags from gnutls_privkey_flags_t.

       const gnutls_keygen_data_st * data
                   Allow specifying gnutls_keygen_data_st types such as the seed to be used.

       unsigned data_size
                   The number of  data available.


DESCRIPTION
       This function will generate a random private key. Note that this function must  be  called  on  an  empty
       private key. The flag GNUTLS_PRIVKEY_FLAG_PROVABLE instructs the key generation process to use algorithms
       like Shawe-Taylor which generate provable parameters out of a seed.

       Note that when generating an elliptic curve key, the curve can be substituted in the place  of  the  bits
       parameter using the GNUTLS_CURVE_TO_BITS() macro.

       Do not set the number of bits directly, use gnutls_sec_param_to_pk_bits().


RETURNS
       On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value.


SINCE
       3.5.0
