gnutls_x509_crt_get_crl_dist_points(3)

NAME
gnutls_x509_crt_get_crl_dist_points - This function returns the CRL distribution points

SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_crt_get_crl_dist_points(gnutls_x509_crt_t cert, unsigned int seq, void * ret, size_t * ret_size, unsigned int * reason_flags, unsigned int * critical);

ARGUMENTS

gnutls_x509_crt_t cert
    should contain a gnutls_x509_crt_t structure

unsigned int seq
    specifies the sequence number of the distribution point (0 for the first one, 1 for the second etc.)

void * ret
    is the place where the distribution point will be copied to

size_t * ret_size
    holds the size of ret.

unsigned int * reason_flags
    Revocation reasons flags.

unsigned int * critical
    will be non zero if the extension is marked as critical (may be null)

DESCRIPTION
This function will return the CRL distribution points (2.5.29.31), contained in the given certificate.

reason_flags should be an ORed sequence of GNUTLS_CRL_REASON_UNUSED, GNUTLS_CRL_REASON_KEY_COMPROMISE, GNUTLS_CRL_REASON_CA_COMPROMISE, GNUTLS_CRL_REASON_AFFILIATION_CHANGED, GNUTLS_CRL_REASON_SUPERSEEDED, GNUTLS_CRL_REASON_CESSATION_OF_OPERATION, GNUTLS_CRL_REASON_CERTIFICATE_HOLD, GNUTLS_CRL_REASON_PRIVILEGE_WITHDRAWN, GNUTLS_CRL_REASON_AA_COMPROMISE, or zero for all possible reasons.

This is specified in X509v3 Certificate Extensions. GNUTLS will return the distribution point type, or a negative error code on error.

RETURNS
GNUTLS_E_SHORT_MEMORY_BUFFER and updates &ret_size if &ret_size is not enough to hold the distribution point, or the type of the distribution point if everything was ok. The type is one of the enumerated gnutls_x509_subject_alt_name_t. If the certificate does not have an Alternative name with the specified sequence number then GNUTLS_E_REQUESTED_DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE is returned.
