NAME

       gnutls_x509_privkey_generate - generate a private key

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/x509.h>

       int       gnutls_x509_privkey_generate(gnutls_x509_privkey_t       key,
       gnutls_pk_algorithm_t algo, unsigned int bits, unsigned int flags);

ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_x509_privkey_t key
                   should contain a gnutls_x509_privkey_t structure

       gnutls_pk_algorithm_t algo
                   is one of RSA or DSA.

       unsigned int bits
                   the size of the modulus

       unsigned int flags
                   unused for now.  Must be 0.

DESCRIPTION

       This function will generate  a  random  private  key.  Note  that  this
       function must be called on an empty private key.

RETURNS

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