NAME

       gnutls_privkey_sign_data - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/abstract.h>

       int   gnutls_privkey_sign_data(gnutls_privkey_t  signer,  gnutls_digest_algorithm_t  hash,
       unsigned int flags, const gnutls_datum_t * data, gnutls_datum_t * signature);

ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_privkey_t signer
                   Holds the key

       gnutls_digest_algorithm_t hash
                   should be a digest algorithm

       unsigned int flags
                   Zero or one of gnutls_privkey_flags_t

       const gnutls_datum_t * data
                   holds the data to be signed

       gnutls_datum_t * signature
                   will contain the signature allocated with gnutls_malloc()

DESCRIPTION

       This function will sign the given 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 the  SHA  family  for
       the DSA keys.

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

RETURNS

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

SINCE

       2.12.0
