NAME

       gnutls_x509_rdn_get_by_oid - parse an RDN sequence and returns a string

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/x509.h>

       int gnutls_x509_rdn_get_by_oid(const gnutls_datum_t * idn, const char *
       oid, int indx, unsigned int raw_flag, void * buf, size_t * sizeof_buf);

ARGUMENTS

       const gnutls_datum_t * idn
                   should contain a DER encoded RDN sequence

       const char * oid
                   an Object Identifier

       int indx    In case multiple same OIDs exist in the RDN indicates which
                   to send. Use 0 for the first one.

       unsigned int raw_flag
                   If non zero then the raw DER data are returned.

       void * buf  a pointer to a structure to hold the peer’s name

       size_t * sizeof_buf
                   holds the size of buf

DESCRIPTION

       This  function  will return the name of the given Object identifier, of
       the RDN sequence.  The name  will  be  encoded  using  the  rules  from
       RFC2253.

RETURNS

       On       success,       GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS      is      returned,      or
       GNUTLS_E_SHORT_MEMORY_BUFFER is returned and *sizeof_buf is updated  if
       the  provided  buffer  is  not  long enough, otherwise a negative error
       value.
