gnutls_x509_privkey_sign_data(3)    gnutls    gnutls_x509_privkey_sign_data(3)

NAME
       gnutls_x509_privkey_sign_data - sign data using the private key

SYNOPSIS
       #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);

ARGUMENTS
       gnutls_x509_privkey_t key
		   Holds the key

       gnutls_digest_algorithm_t digest
		   should be MD5 or SHA1

       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)

DESCRIPTION
       This function will sign the given data using a signature algorithm sup‐
       ported  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.

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