NAME
       gnutls_x509_privkey_sign_data - API function


SYNOPSIS
       #include <gnutls/x509.h>

       int   gnutls_x509_privkey_sign_data(gnutls_x509_privkey_t  key,  gnutls_digest_algorithm_t
       digest, unsigned int flags, const gnutls_datum_t  *  data,  void  *  signature,  size_t  *
       signature_size);


ARGUMENTS
       gnutls_x509_privkey_t key
                   a key

       gnutls_digest_algorithm_t digest
                   should be a digest algorithm

       unsigned int flags
                   should be 0 for now

       const gnutls_datum_t * data
                   holds the data to be signed

       void * signature
                   will contain the signature

       size_t * signature_size
                   holds the size of signature (and will be replaced by the new size)


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 SHA-1 for the DSA
       keys.

       If the buffer provided is not long enough to hold the output,  then  *  signature_size  is
       updated and GNUTLS_E_SHORT_MEMORY_BUFFER will be returned.

       Use gnutls_x509_crt_get_preferred_hash_algorithm() to determine the hash algorithm.


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