Provided by: gnutls-doc_3.8.9-2ubuntu2_all bug

NAME
       gnutls_x509_crt_get_dn - API function


SYNOPSIS
       #include <gnutls/x509.h>

       int gnutls_x509_crt_get_dn(gnutls_x509_crt_t cert, char * buf, size_t * buf_size);


ARGUMENTS
       gnutls_x509_crt_t cert
                   should contain a gnutls_x509_crt_t type

       char * buf  a pointer to a structure to hold the name (may be null)

       size_t * buf_size
                   initially holds the size of  buf


DESCRIPTION
       This  function will copy the name of the Certificate in the provided buffer. The name will be in the form
       "C=xxxx,O=yyyy,CN=zzzz" as described in RFC4514. The output  string  will  be  ASCII  or  UTF-8  encoded,
       depending on the certificate data.

       The   buf  returned will be null terminated and the  buf_size will account for the trailing null. If  buf
       is null then only the size will be filled.

       This  function  does  not  output  a  fully  RFC4514  compliant  string,  if   that   is   required   see
       gnutls_x509_crt_get_dn3().


RETURNS
       GNUTLS_E_SHORT_MEMORY_BUFFER  if  the  provided buffer is not long enough, and in that case the  buf_size
       will be updated with the required size. GNUTLS_E_REQUESTED_DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE if the DN does  not  exist,
       or another error value on error. On success 0 is returned.
