NAME

6       gnutls_x509_privkey_generate - API function
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <gnutls/x509.h>
10
11       int       gnutls_x509_privkey_generate(gnutls_x509_privkey_t       key,
12       gnutls_pk_algorithm_t algo, unsigned int bits, unsigned int flags);
13

ARGUMENTS

15       gnutls_x509_privkey_t key
16                   should contain a gnutls_x509_privkey_t structure
17
18       gnutls_pk_algorithm_t algo
19                   is one of RSA or DSA.
20
21       unsigned int bits
22                   the size of the modulus
23
24       unsigned int flags
25                   unused for now.  Must be 0.
26

DESCRIPTION

28       This function will generate a random private key. Note that this  func‐
29       tion must be called on an empty private key.
30
31       Do     not     set     the     number    of    bits    directly,    use
32       gnutls_sec_param_to_pk_bits().
33

RETURNS

35       On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS is returned, otherwise  a  negative  error
36       value.
