gnutls_pubkey_g..._hash_algorithm(3) gnutls gnutls_pubkey_g..._hash_algorithm(3)

NAME
     gnutls_pubkey_get_preferred_hash_algorithm - API function

SYNOPSIS
     #include <gnutls/abstract.h>

     int     gnutls_pubkey_get_preferred_hash_algorithm(gnutls_pubkey_t     key,
     gnutls_digest_algorithm_t * hash, unsigned int * mand);

ARGUMENTS
     gnutls_pubkey_t key
		 Holds the certificate

     gnutls_digest_algorithm_t * hash
		 The result of the call with the hash algorithm used for  signa-
		 ture

     unsigned int * mand
		 If non zero it means that the algorithm MUST use this hash. May
		 be NULL.

DESCRIPTION
     This  function  will read the certificate and return the appropriate digest
     algorithm to use for signing with this certificate. Some certificates (i.e.
     DSA might not be able to sign without the preferred algorithm).

     To  get  the  signature  algorithm   instead   of	 just	the   hash   use
     gnutls_pk_to_sign()  with the algorithm of the certificate/key and the pro-
     vided  hash .

RETURNS
     the 0 if the hash algorithm is found. A negative error code is returned  on
     error.

SINCE
     2.12.0
