SYNOPSIS¶

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_privkey_export2(gnutls_x509_privkey_t key, gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t format, gnutls_datum_t * out);

Holds the key

gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t format

the format of output params. One of PEM or DER.

DESCRIPTION¶

This function will export the private key to a PKCS1 structure for RSA or RSA-PSS keys, and integer sequence for DSA keys. Other keys types will be exported in PKCS8 form.

The output buffer is allocated using gnutls_malloc().

It is recommended to use gnutls_x509_privkey_export2_pkcs8() instead of this function, when a consistent output format is required.

On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value.

Since 3.1.3
