NAME         top

       gnutls_x509_dn_export - API function

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <gnutls/x509.h>

       int gnutls_x509_dn_export(gnutls_x509_dn_t dn,
       gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t format, void * output_data, size_t *
       output_data_size);

ARGUMENTS         top

       gnutls_x509_dn_t dn
                   Holds the uint8_t DN object

       gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t format
                   the format of output params. One of PEM or DER.

       void * output_data
                   will contain a DN PEM or DER encoded

       size_t * output_data_size
                   holds the size of output_data (and will be replaced by
                   the actual size of parameters)

DESCRIPTION         top

       This function will export the DN to DER or PEM format.

       If the buffer provided is not long enough to hold the output, then
       * output_data_size is updated and GNUTLS_E_SHORT_MEMORY_BUFFER
       will be returned.

       If the structure is PEM encoded, it will have a header of "BEGIN
       NAME".

RETURNS         top

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