SYNOPSIS
     #include <gnutls/x509.h>

     int  gnutls_x509_crt_get_basic_constraints(gnutls_x509_crt_t cert, unsigned
     int * critical, unsigned int * ca, int * pathlen);

ARGUMENTS
     gnutls_x509_crt_t cert
		 should contain a gnutls_x509_crt_t type

     unsigned int * critical
		 will be non-zero if the extension is marked as critical

     unsigned int * ca
		 pointer to output integer indicating CA status,  may  be  NULL,
		 value is 1 if the certificate CA flag is set, 0 otherwise.

     int * pathlen
		 pointer to output integer indicating path length (may be NULL),
		 non-negative  error  codes indicate a present pathLenConstraint
		 field and the actual value, -1 indicate that the field  is  ab-

DESCRIPTION
     This function will read the certificate's basic constraints, and return the
     certificates  CA  status.	 It  reads  the basicConstraints X.509 extension
     (2.5.29.19).

RETURNS
     If the certificate is a CA a positive value will be returned, or (0) if the
     certificate does not have CA flag set.  A negative error code  may  be  re-
     turned  in  case of errors.  If the certificate does not contain the basic-
     Constraints extension  GNUTLS_E_REQUESTED_DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE  will  be  re-
     turned.
