gnutls_privkey_init(3)		     gnutls		  gnutls_privkey_init(3)

NAME
     gnutls_privkey_init - API function

SYNOPSIS
     #include <gnutls/abstract.h>

     int gnutls_privkey_init(gnutls_privkey_t * key);

ARGUMENTS
     gnutls_privkey_t * key
		 A pointer to the type to be initialized

DESCRIPTION
     This  function will initialize a private key object. The object can be used
     to generate, import, and perform cryptographic operations on the associated
     private key.

     Note that when the underlying private key is a PKCS11 key (i.e.,  when  im-
     ported  with a PKCS11 URI), the limitations of gnutls_pkcs11_privkey_init()
     apply to this object as well. In versions of GnuTLS later than  3.5.11  the
     object  is  protected  using  locks  and  a  single gnutls_privkey_t can be
     re-used by many threads. However, for performance it is recommended to uti-
     lize one object per key per thread.

RETURNS
     On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise  a  negative  error
     value.

SINCE
     2.12.0
