NAME

       gnutls_privkey_sign_hash - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/abstract.h>

       int  gnutls_privkey_sign_hash(gnutls_privkey_t  signer, gnutls_digest_algorithm_t hash_algo, unsigned int
       flags, const gnutls_datum_t * hash_data, gnutls_datum_t * signature);

ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_privkey_t signer
                   Holds the signer's key

       gnutls_digest_algorithm_t hash_algo
                   The hash algorithm used

       unsigned int flags
                   Zero or one of gnutls_privkey_flags_t

       const gnutls_datum_t * hash_data
                   holds the data to be signed

       gnutls_datum_t * signature
                   will contain newly allocated signature

DESCRIPTION

       This function will sign the given hashed data using a signature algorithm supported by the  private  key.
       Signature  algorithms  are  always  used together with a hash functions.  Different hash functions may be
       used for the RSA algorithm, but only SHA-XXX for the DSA keys.

       You may use gnutls_pubkey_get_preferred_hash_algorithm() to determine the hash algorithm.

       Note that if GNUTLS_PRIVKEY_SIGN_FLAG_TLS1_RSA flag is specified this function will ignore  hash_algo and
       perform a raw PKCS1 signature.

RETURNS

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

SINCE

       2.12.0
