gnutls_x509_privkey_generate(3)	    gnutls     gnutls_x509_privkey_generate(3)

NAME
       gnutls_x509_privkey_generate - API function

SYNOPSIS
       #include <gnutls/x509.h>

       int	 gnutls_x509_privkey_generate(gnutls_x509_privkey_t	  key,
       gnutls_pk_algorithm_t algo, unsigned int bits, unsigned int flags);

ARGUMENTS
       gnutls_x509_privkey_t key
		   should contain a gnutls_x509_privkey_t structure

       gnutls_pk_algorithm_t algo
		   is one of the algorithms in gnutls_pk_algorithm_t.

       unsigned int bits
		   the size of the modulus

       unsigned int flags
		   unused for now.  Must be 0.

DESCRIPTION
       This function will generate a random private key. Note that this	 func‐
       tion must be called on an empty private key.

       Note  that when generating an elliptic curve key, the curve can be sub‐
       stituted	  in   the   place   of	  the	bits   parameter   using   the
       GNUTLS_CURVE_TO_BITS() macro.

       For  DSA	 keys,	if  the	 subgroup size needs to be specified check the
       GNUTLS_SUBGROUP_TO_BITS() macro.

       Do    not    set	   the	  number     of	    bits     directly,	   use
       gnutls_sec_param_to_pk_bits().

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