NAME
       gnutls_load_file - API function


SYNOPSIS
       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       int gnutls_load_file(const char * filename, gnutls_datum_t * data);


ARGUMENTS
       const char * filename
                   the name of the file to load

       gnutls_datum_t * data
                   Where the file will be stored


DESCRIPTION
       This  function  will  load  a  file  into  a  datum.  The data are zero terminated but the
       terminating null is not included  in  length.   The  returned  data  are  allocated  using
       gnutls_malloc().

       Note  that  this function is not designed for reading sensitive materials, such as private
       keys, on practical applications. When the reading  fails  in  the  middle,  the  partially
       loaded content might remain on memory.


RETURNS
       On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise an error code is returned.

       Since 3.1.0
