gnutls_sec_param_to_pk_bits(3)	    gnutls	gnutls_sec_param_to_pk_bits(3)

NAME
       gnutls_sec_param_to_pk_bits - API function

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<gnutls/gnutls.h>

       unsigned	 int  gnutls_sec_param_to_pk_bits(gnutls_pk_algorithm_t	 algo,
       gnutls_sec_param_t param);

ARGUMENTS
       gnutls_pk_algorithm_t algo
		   is a	public key algorithm

       gnutls_sec_param_t param
		   is a	security parameter

DESCRIPTION
       When generating private and public key pairs a  difficult  question  is
       which  size  of "bits" the modulus will be in RSA and the group size in
       DSA. The	easy answer is 1024, which is also wrong. This	function  will
       convert	a  human  understandable  security parameter to	an appropriate
       size for	the specific algorithm.

RETURNS
       The number of bits, or (0).

SINCE
       2.12.0
