gnutls_privkey_import_ext(3) gnutlsgnutls_privkey_import_ext(3)gnutls_privkey_import_ext - API function
#include <gnutls/abstract.h>int gnutls_privkey_import_ext(gnutls_privkey_tpkey,gnutls_pk_algorithm_tpk, void *userdata,gnutls_privkey_sign_funcsign_func, gnutls_privkey_decrypt_funcdecrypt_func, unsigned intflags);
gnutls_privkey_t pkey The private key gnutls_pk_algorithm_t pk The public key algorithm void * userdata private data to be provided to the callbacks gnutls_privkey_sign_func sign_func callback for signature operations gnutls_privkey_decrypt_func decrypt_func callback for decryption operations unsigned int flags Flags for the import
This function will associate the given callbacks with thegnutls_privkey_ttype. At least one of the two callbacks must be non-null. Note that the signing function is supposed to "raw" sign data, i.e., without any hashing or preprocessing. In case of RSA the DigestInfo will be provided, and the signing function is expected to do the PKCS11.5 padding and the exponentiation. See alsognutls_privkey_import_ext3().
On success,GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS(0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value.
