NAME
gnutls_x509_crt_get_dn_by_oid - This function returns the Certificate's distinguished name
SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/x509.h>
I int gnutls_x509_crt_get_dn_by_oid(gnutls_x509_crt_t cert , const char * oid , int indx , unsigned int raw_flag , void * buf , size_t * sizeof_buf );
ARGUMENTS
"gnutls_x509_crt_t
should contain a gnutls_x509_crt_t structure
"const
holds an Object Identified in null terminated string
"int
In case multiple same OIDs exist in the RDN, this specifies which to send. Use zero to get the first one.
"unsigned
If non zero returns the raw DER data of the DN part.
"void
a pointer where the DN part will be copied (may be null).
"size_t
initially holds the size of buf
DESCRIPTION
This function will extract the part of the name of the Certificate
subject specified by the given OID. The output, if the raw flag is not
used, will be encoded as described in RFC2253. Thus a string that is
ASCII or UTF-8 encoded, depending on the certificate data.
Some helper macros with popular OIDs can be found in gnutls/x509.h
If raw flag is zero, this function will only return known OIDs as
text. Other OIDs will be DER encoded, as described in RFC2253 --
in hex format with a '\#' prefix. You can check about known OIDs
using gnutls_x509_dn_oid_known().
If buf is null then only the size will be filled.
Returns GNUTLS_E_SHORT_MEMORY_BUFFER if the provided buffer is not
long enough, and in that case the *sizeof_buf will be updated with
the required size. On success 0 is returned.
