NAME

6       gnutls_x509_crt_set_serial - API function
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <gnutls/x509.h>
10
11       int  gnutls_x509_crt_set_serial(gnutls_x509_crt_t  cert,  const  void *
12       serial, size_t serial_size);
13

ARGUMENTS

15       gnutls_x509_crt_t cert
16                   a certificate of type gnutls_x509_crt_t
17
18       const void * serial
19                   The serial number
20
21       size_t serial_size
22                   Holds the size of the serial field.

DESCRIPTION

25       This function will set the X.509 certificate's  serial  number.   While
26       the serial number is an integer, it is often handled as an opaque field
27       by several CAs. For this reason this function accepts any kind of  data
28       as a serial number. To be consistent with the X.509/PKIX specifications
29       the provided  serial should be a big-endian positive number (i.e.  it's
30       leftmost bit should be zero).
31
32       The  size  of  the serial is restricted to 20 bytes maximum by RFC5280.
33       This function allows writing more than 20 bytes but the generated  cer‐
34       tificates in that case may be rejected by other implementations.
35

RETURNS

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