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
