gnutls_x509_t...ist_get_issuer(3) gnutlsgnutls_x509_t...ist_get_issuer(3)gnutls_x509_trust_list_get_issuer - API function
#include <gnutls/x509.h>int gnutls_x509_trust_list_get_issuer(gnutls_x509_trust_list_tlist, gnutls_x509_crt_tcert, gnutls_x509_crt_t *issuer, unsignedintflags);
gnutls_x509_trust_list_t list The list gnutls_x509_crt_t cert is the certificate to find issuer for gnutls_x509_crt_t * issuer Will hold the issuer if any. Should be treated as constant unlessGNUTLS_TL_GET_COPYis set inflags . unsigned int flags flags fromgnutls_trust_list_flags_t (GNUTLS_TL_GET_COPYis applicable)
This function will find the issuer of the given certificate. If the flagGNUTLS_TL_GET_COPYis specified a copy of the issuer will be returned which must be freed usinggnutls_x509_crt_deinit(). In that case the providedissuer must not be initialized. Note that the flagGNUTLS_TL_GET_COPYis required for this function to work with PKCS11trust lists in a thread-safe way.
On success,GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS(0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value.
