NAME
gnutls_pkcs11_init - API function
SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/pkcs11.h>
int gnutls_pkcs11_init(unsigned int flags, const char * deprecated_con-
fig_file);
ARGUMENTS
unsigned int flags
An ORed sequence of GNUTLS_PKCS11_FLAG_*
const char * deprecated_config_file
either NULL or the location of a deprecated configuration
file
DESCRIPTION
This function will initialize the PKCS 11 subsystem in gnutls. It will
read configuration files if GNUTLS_PKCS11_FLAG_AUTO is used or allow you
to independently load PKCS 11 modules using gnutls_pkcs11_add_provider()
if GNUTLS_PKCS11_FLAG_MANUAL is specified.
You don't need to call this function since GnuTLS 3.3.0 because it is
being called during the first request PKCS 11 operation. That call will
assume the GNUTLS_PKCS11_FLAG_AUTO flag. If another flags are required
then it must be called independently prior to any PKCS 11 operation.
RETURNS
On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error
value.
SINCE
2.12.0
