#include <gnutls/x509.h>

Overview

This function will export the private key to a PKCS1 structure for RSA or RSA-PSS keys, and integer sequence for DSA keys. Other keys types will be exported in PKCS8 form.

The output buffer is allocated using gnutls_malloc().

It is recommended to use gnutls_x509_privkey_export2_pkcs8() instead of this function, when a consistent output format is required.

Returns

On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value.
