gnutls_x509_crt_set_serial(3)	     gnutls	   gnutls_x509_crt_set_serial(3)

NAME
     gnutls_x509_crt_set_serial - API function

SYNOPSIS
     #include <gnutls/x509.h>

     int gnutls_x509_crt_set_serial(gnutls_x509_crt_t cert, const void * serial,
     size_t serial_size);

ARGUMENTS
     gnutls_x509_crt_t cert
		 a certificate of type gnutls_x509_crt_t

     const void * serial
		 The serial number

     size_t serial_size
		 Holds the size of the serial field.

DESCRIPTION
     This  function  will  set the X.509 certificate's serial number.  While the
     serial number is an integer, it is often handled as an opaque field by sev-
     eral CAs. For this reason this function accepts any kind of data as a  ser-
     ial  number.  To  be consistent with the X.509/PKIX specifications the pro-
     vided  serial should be a big-endian positive number (i.e. its leftmost bit
     should be zero).

     The size of the serial is restricted to 20 bytes maximum by RFC5280.   This
     function  allows  writing more than 20 bytes but the generated certificates
     in that case may be rejected by other implementations.

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