SYNOPSIS

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_crt_get_issuer_dn(gnutls_x509_crt_t cert, char * buf, size_t * sizeof_buf);

ARGUMENTS

gnutls_x509_crt_t cert: should contain a gnutls_x509_crt_t structure
char * buf: a pointer to a structure to hold the name (may be null)
size_t * sizeof_buf: initially holds the size of buf

DESCRIPTION

This function will copy the name of the Certificate issuer in the provided buffer. The name will be in the form "C=xxxx,O=yyyy,CN=zzzz" as described in RFC2253. The output string will be ASCII or UTF-8 encoded, depending on the certificate data.

If buf is null then only the size will be filled.
