gnutls_x509_privkey_sign_data(3)    gnutls    gnutls_x509_privkey_sign_data(3)

NAME
       gnutls_x509_privkey_sign_data  - This function will sign the given data
       using the private key params

SYNOPSIS
       #include <gnutls/x509.h>

       int	gnutls_x509_privkey_sign_data(gnutls_x509_privkey_t	  key,
       gnutls_digest_algorithm_t    digest,    unsigned	  int	flags,	 const
       gnutls_datum_t * data, void * signature, size_t * signature_size);

ARGUMENTS
       gnutls_x509_privkey_t key
		   Holds the key

       gnutls_digest_algorithm_t digest
		   should be MD5 or SHA1

       unsigned int flags
		   should be 0 for now

       const gnutls_datum_t * data
		   holds the data to be signed

       void * signature
		   will contain the signature

       size_t * signature_size
		   holds the size of signature (and will be  replaced  by  the
		   new size)

DESCRIPTION
       This function will sign the given data using a signature algorithm sup‐
       ported by  the  private	key.  Signature	 algorithms  are  always  used
       together	 with  a hash functions.  Different hash functions may be used
       for the RSA algorithm, but only SHA-1 for the DSA keys.

       If the buffer provided is not long enough  to  hold  the	 output,  then
       *signature_size	is  updated  and  GNUTLS_E_SHORT_MEMORY_BUFFER will be
       returned.

       In case of failure a negative value will be returned, and 0 on success.
