gnutls_x509_crt_get_dn3(3) gnutlsgnutls_x509_crt_get_dn3(3)gnutls_x509_crt_get_dn3 - API function
#include <gnutls/x509.h>int gnutls_x509_crt_get_dn3(gnutls_x509_crt_tcert, gnutls_datum_t*dn, unsignedflags);
gnutls_x509_crt_t cert should contain agnutls_x509_crt_ttype gnutls_datum_t * dn a pointer to a structure to hold the name; must be freed usinggnutls_free() unsigned flags zero orGNUTLS_X509_DN_FLAG_COMPAT
This function will allocate buffer and copy the name of the Certificate. The name will be in the form "C=xxxx,O=yyyy,CN=zzzz" as described in RFC4514. The output string will be ASCII or UTF-8 encoded, depending on the certificate data. When the flagGNUTLS_X509_DN_FLAG_COMPATis specified, the output format will match the format output by previous to 3.5.6 versions of GnuTLS which was not not fully RFC4514-compliant.
On success,GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS(0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value.
