NAME

       gnutls_pkcs11_privkey_init - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/pkcs11.h>

       int gnutls_pkcs11_privkey_init(gnutls_pkcs11_privkey_t * key);

ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_pkcs11_privkey_t * key
                   A pointer to the type to be initialized

DESCRIPTION

       This  function  will  initialize  an  private  key structure. This structure can be used for accessing an
       underlying PKCS11 object.

       In  versions  of  GnuTLS  later  than  3.5.11  the  object  is  protected  using  locks  and   a   single
       gnutls_pkcs11_privkey_t  can  be  re-used  by many threads. However, for performance it is recommended to
       utilize one object per key per thread.

RETURNS

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