NAME
       gnutls_certificate_type_get2 - API function


SYNOPSIS
       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       gnutls_certificate_type_t  gnutls_certificate_type_get2(gnutls_session_t  session,  gnutls_ctype_target_t
       target);


ARGUMENTS
       gnutls_session_t session
                   is a gnutls_session_t type.

       gnutls_ctype_target_t target
                   is a gnutls_ctype_target_t type.


DESCRIPTION
       This function returns the type of the certificate that a side is negotiated to use.  The certificate type
       is  by  default  X.509, unless an alternative certificate type is enabled by gnutls_init() and negotiated
       during the session.

       The  target parameter specifies whether to  request  the  negotiated  certificate  type  for  the  client
       (GNUTLS_CTYPE_CLIENT),  or for the server (GNUTLS_CTYPE_SERVER). Additionally, in P2P mode connection set
       up where you don't know in advance who will be client and who  will  be  server  you  can  use  the  flag
       (GNUTLS_CTYPE_OURS) and (GNUTLS_CTYPE_PEERS) to retrieve the corresponding certificate types.

       Resumed  sessions  will return the certificate type that was negotiated and used in the original session.
       That is, this function can be used to  reliably  determine  the  type  of  the  certificate  returned  by
       gnutls_certificate_get_peers().


RETURNS
       the currently used gnutls_certificate_type_t certificate type for the client or the server.


SINCE
       3.6.4
