       gnutls_x509_crt_get_preferred_hash_algorithm - API function
       #include <gnutls/compat.h>
       int gnutls_x509_crt_get_preferred_hash_algorithm(gnutls_x509_crt_t
       crt, gnutls_digest_algorithm_t * hash, unsigned int * mand);
       gnutls_x509_crt_t crt
                   Holds the certificate
       gnutls_digest_algorithm_t * hash
                   The result of the call with the hash algorithm used
                   for signature
       unsigned int * mand
                   If non-zero it means that the algorithm MUST use this
                   hash. May be NULL.
       This function will read the certificate and return the appropriate
       digest algorithm to use for signing with this certificate. Some
       certificates (i.e.  DSA might not be able to sign without the
       preferred algorithm).
       Please use gnutls_pubkey_get_preferred_hash_algorithm().
       the 0 if the hash algorithm is found. A negative error code is
       returned on error.
