NAME

       gnutls_x509_crq_get_dn_by_oid - API function


SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/x509.h>

       gnutls_x509_crq_get_dn_by_oid(3)  crq, const char *
       oid, unsigned indx,  unsigned  int  raw_flag,  void  *  buf,  size_t  *
       buf_size);


ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_x509_crq_t crq
                   should contain a gnutls_x509_crq_t type

       const char * oid
                   holds an Object Identifier in a null terminated string

       unsigned indx
                   In case multiple same OIDs exist in the RDN, this specifies
                   which to get. Use (0) to get the first one.

       unsigned int raw_flag
                   If non-zero returns the raw DER data of the DN part.

       void * buf  a pointer to a structure to hold the name (may be NULL)

       size_t * buf_size
                   initially holds the size of  buf


DESCRIPTION

       This function will extract the part of  the  name  of  the  Certificate
       request subject, specified by the given OID. The output will be encoded
       as described in RFC2253. The output  string  will  be  ASCII  or  UTF-8
       encoded, depending on the certificate data.

       Some  helper  macros with popular OIDs can be found in gnutls/x509.h If
       raw flag is (0), this function will only return  known  OIDs  as  text.
       Other  OIDs will be DER encoded, as described in RFC2253 -- in hex for-
       mat with a 'using gnutls_x509_dn_oid_known().


RETURNS

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