Arguments

gnutls_x509_crt_t * certs

Indicates where the parsed list will be copied to. Must not be initialized.

unsigned int * cert_max

const gnutls_datum_t * data

The PEM encoded certificate.

gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t format

One of DER or PEM.

unsigned int flags

must be (0) or an OR'd sequence of gnutls_certificate_import_flags.

Overview

This function will convert the given PEM encoded certificate list to the native gnutls_x509_crt_t format. The output will be stored in certs . They will be automatically initialized.

The flag GNUTLS_X509_CRT_LIST_IMPORT_FAIL_IF_EXCEED will cause import to fail if the certificates in the provided buffer are more than the available structures. The GNUTLS_X509_CRT_LIST_FAIL_IF_UNSORTED flag will cause the function to fail if the provided list is not sorted from subject to issuer.

If the Certificate is PEM encoded it should have a header of "X509 CERTIFICATE", or "CERTIFICATE".

Returns

the number of certificates read or a negative error value.
