NAME

       gnutls_x509_dn_oid_known - return true if the given OID is known

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/x509.h>

       int gnutls_x509_dn_oid_known(const char * oid);

ARGUMENTS

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

DESCRIPTION

       This  function  will  inform  about known DN OIDs. This is useful since
       functions like gnutls_x509_crt_set_dn_by_oid() use the  information  on
       known  OIDs to properly encode their input. Object Identifiers that are
       not known are not encoded by these functions, and their input is stored
       directly  into  the  ASN.1 structure. In that case of unknown OIDs, you
       have the responsibility of DER encoding your data.

RETURNS

       1 on known OIDs and 0 otherwise.
