NAME

6       gnutls_x509_crt_get_dn_by_oid - API function
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <gnutls/x509.h>
10
11       int  gnutls_x509_crt_get_dn_by_oid(gnutls_x509_crt_t cert, const char *
12       oid, int indx, unsigned int raw_flag, void * buf, size_t * sizeof_buf);
13

ARGUMENTS

15       gnutls_x509_crt_t cert
16                   should contain a gnutls_x509_crt_t structure
17
18       const char * oid
19                   holds an Object Identified in null terminated string
20
21       int indx    In case multiple same OIDs exist in the RDN, this specifies
22                   which to send. Use zero to get the first one.
23
24       unsigned int raw_flag
25                   If non zero returns the raw DER data of the DN part.
26
27       void * buf  a pointer where the DN part will be copied (may be null).
28
29       size_t * sizeof_buf
30                   initially holds the size of buf
31

DESCRIPTION

33       This function will extract the part of the name of the Certificate sub‐
34       ject specified by the given OID. The output, if the  raw  flag  is  not
35       used,  will  be  encoded as described in RFC2253. Thus a string that is
36       ASCII or UTF-8 encoded, depending on the certificate data.
37
38       Some helper macros with popular OIDs can be found in  gnutls/x509.h  If
39       raw  flag  is  zero, this function will only return known OIDs as text.
40       Other OIDs will be DER encoded, as described in RFC2253 -- in hex  for‐
41       mat with a 'using gnutls_x509_dn_oid_known().
42
43       If buf is null then only the size will be filled.
44

RETURNS

46       GNUTLS_E_SHORT_MEMORY_BUFFER if the provided buffer is not long enough,
47       and in that case the *sizeof_buf will  be  updated  with  the  required
48       size.  On success 0 is returned.
