gnutls_x509_crt_get_issuer_dn — This function returns the Certificate's issuer distinguished name

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.

Returns GNUTLS_E_SHORT_MEMORY_BUFFER if the provided buffer is not long enough, and in that case the *sizeof_buf will be updated with the required size. On success 0 is returned.
