gnutls_openpgp_key_get_pk_algorithm(3)

gnutls_openpgp_key_get_pk_algorithm3

This function returns the key's publickey algorithm

Usage

#include <gnutls/openpgp.h>

int gnutls_openpgp_key_get_pk_algorithm(gnutls_openpgp_key_t key, unsigned int * bits);

Arguments

gnutls_openpgp_key_t key

is an OpenPGP key

unsigned int * bits

if bits is non null it will hold the size of the parameters' in bits

Overview

This function will return the public key algorithm of an OpenPGP certificate.

If bits is non null, it should have enough size to hold the parameters size in bits. For RSA the bits returned is the modulus. For DSA the bits returned are of the public exponent.

Returns a member of the GNUTLS_PKAlgorithm enumeration on success, or a negative value on error.
