gnutls_certif...t_x509_key_mem(3) gnutlsgnutls_certif...t_x509_key_mem(3)gnutls_certificate_set_x509_key_mem - API function
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>intgnutls_certificate_set_x509_key_mem(gnutls_certificate_credentials_tres, const gnutls_datum_t *cert, const gnutls_datum_t *key,gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_ttype);
gnutls_certificate_credentials_t res is agnutls_certificate_credentials_ttype. const gnutls_datum_t * cert contains a certificate list (path) for the specified private key const gnutls_datum_t * key is the private key, orNULL gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t type is PEM or DER
This function sets a certificate/private key pair in the gnutls_certificate_credentials_t type. This function may be called more than once, in case multiple keys/certificates exist for the server. Note that the keyUsage (2.5.29.15) PKIX extension in X.509 certificates is supported. This means that certificates intended for signing cannot be used for ciphersuites that require encryption. If the certificate and the private key are given in PEM encoding then the strings that hold their values must be null terminated. Thekey may beNULLif you are using a sign callback, seegnutls_sign_callback_set(). Note that, this function by default returns zero on success and a negative value on error. Since 3.5.6, when the flagGNUTLS_CERTIFICATE_API_V2is set usinggnutls_certificate_set_flags()it returns an index (greater or equal to zero). That index can be used to other functions to refer to the added key-pair.
On success this functions returns zero, and otherwise a negative value on error (see above for modifying that behavior).
