       gnutls_x509_privkey_sign_data - API function
       #include <gnutls/x509.h>
       int gnutls_x509_privkey_sign_data(gnutls_x509_privkey_t key,
       gnutls_digest_algorithm_t digest, unsigned int flags, const
       gnutls_datum_t * data, void * signature, size_t * signature_size);
       gnutls_x509_privkey_t key
                   a key
       gnutls_digest_algorithm_t digest
                   should be a digest algorithm
       unsigned int flags
                   should be 0 for now
       const gnutls_datum_t * data
                   holds the data to be signed
       void * signature
                   will contain the signature
       size_t * signature_size
                   holds the size of signature (and will be replaced by
                   the new size)
       This function will sign the given data using a signature algorithm
       supported by the private key. Signature algorithms are always used
       together with a hash functions.  Different hash functions may be
       used for the RSA algorithm, but only SHA-1 for the DSA keys.
       If the buffer provided is not long enough to hold the output, then
       * signature_size is updated and GNUTLS_E_SHORT_MEMORY_BUFFER will
       be returned.
       Use gnutls_x509_crt_get_preferred_hash_algorithm() to determine
       the hash algorithm.
       On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative
       error value.
