NAME

gnutls_x509_crt_set_version - Set the Certificate request version

SYNOPSIS

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_crt_set_version(gnutls_x509_crt_t crt, unsigned int version);

ARGUMENTS

gnutls_x509_crt_t crt: a certificate of type gnutls_x509_crt_t
unsigned int version: holds the version number. For X.509v1 certificates must be 1.

DESCRIPTION

This function will set the version of the certificate. This must be one for X.509 version 1, and so on. Plain certificates without extensions must have version set to one.

To create well-formed certificates, you must specify version 3 if you use any certificate extensions. Extensions are created by functions such as gnutls_x509_crt_set_subject_alt_name() or gnutls_x509_crt_set_key_usage().

RETURNS

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