gnutls_privkey_init(3) gnutls gnutls_privkey_init(3)
NAME
gnutls_privkey_init - API function
SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/abstract.h>
int gnutls_privkey_init(gnutls_privkey_t * key);
ARGUMENTS
gnutls_privkey_t * key
A pointer to the type to be initialized
DESCRIPTION
This function will initialize a private key object. The object can be
used to generate, import, and perform cryptographic operations on the
associated private key.
Note that when the underlying private key is a PKCS11 key (i.e., when
imported with a PKCS11 URI), the limitations of
gnutls_pkcs11_privkey_init() apply to this object as well. In versions
of GnuTLS later than 3.5.11 the object is protected using locks and a
single gnutls_privkey_t can be re-used by many threads. However, for
performance it is recommended to utilize one object per key per thread.
RETURNS
On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative er-
ror value.
SINCE
2.12.0
