gnutls_privkey_sign_data(3)         gnutls         gnutls_privkey_sign_data(3)

NAME
       gnutls_privkey_sign_data - API function

SYNOPSIS
       #include <gnutls/abstract.h>

       int gnutls_privkey_sign_data(gnutls_privkey_t signer, gnutls_digest_al-
       gorithm_t hash,  unsigned  int  flags,  const  gnutls_datum_t  *  data,
       gnutls_datum_t * signature);

ARGUMENTS
       gnutls_privkey_t signer
                   Holds the key

       gnutls_digest_algorithm_t hash
                   should be a digest algorithm

       unsigned int flags
                   Zero or one of gnutls_privkey_flags_t

       const gnutls_datum_t * data
                   holds the data to be signed

       gnutls_datum_t * signature
                   will contain the signature allocated with gnutls_malloc()

DESCRIPTION
       This function will sign the given data using a signature algorithm sup-
       ported by the private key. Signature algorithms  are  always  used  to-
       gether with a hash functions.  Different hash functions may be used for
       the RSA algorithm, but only the SHA family for the DSA keys.

       You may use gnutls_pubkey_get_preferred_hash_algorithm()  to  determine
       the hash algorithm.

RETURNS
       On  success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative er-
       ror value.

SINCE
       2.12.0
