NAME

       gnutls_x509_crt_get_dn   -  This  function  returns  the  Certificate’s
       distinguished name

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/x509.h>

       int gnutls_x509_crt_get_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 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.
