NAME         top

       gnutls_privkey_import_ext2 - API function

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <gnutls/abstract.h>

       int gnutls_privkey_import_ext2(gnutls_privkey_t pkey,
       gnutls_pk_algorithm_t pk, void * userdata,
       gnutls_privkey_sign_func sign_fn, gnutls_privkey_decrypt_func
       decrypt_fn, gnutls_privkey_deinit_func deinit_fn, unsigned int
       flags);

ARGUMENTS         top

       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_fn
                   callback for signature operations

       gnutls_privkey_decrypt_func decrypt_fn
                   callback for decryption operations

       gnutls_privkey_deinit_func deinit_fn
                   a deinitialization function

       unsigned int flags
                   Flags for the import

DESCRIPTION         top

       This function will associate the given callbacks with the
       gnutls_privkey_t type. At least one of the two callbacks must be
       non-null. If a deinitialization function is provided then flags is
       assumed to contain GNUTLS_PRIVKEY_IMPORT_AUTO_RELEASE.

       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 PKCS 1 1.5 padding and the exponentiation.

       See also gnutls_privkey_import_ext3().

RETURNS         top

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