NAME¶
gnutls_fingerprint - API function
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
int gnutls_fingerprint(gnutls_digest_algorithm_t algo, const
gnutls_datum_t * data, void * result, size_t *
result_size);
ARGUMENTS¶
- gnutls_digest_algorithm_t algo
- is a digest algorithm
- const gnutls_datum_t * data
- is the data
- void * result
- is the place where the result will be copied (may be null).
- size_t * result_size
- should hold the size of the result. The actual size of the returned result
will also be copied there.
DESCRIPTION¶
This function will calculate a fingerprint (actually a hash), of the given data.
The result is not printable data. You should convert it to hex, or to
something else printable.
This is the usual way to calculate a fingerprint of an X.509 DER encoded
certificate. Note however that the fingerprint of an OpenPGP certificate is
not just a hash and cannot be calculated with this function.
RETURNS¶
On success,
GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise an error code is
returned.
