NAME
gnutls_x509_crq_get_basic_constraints - get certificate's basic con-
straints
SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/x509.h>
int gnutls_x509_crq_get_basic_constraints(gnutls_x509_crq_t cert,
unsigned int * critical, int * ca, int * pathlen);
ARGUMENTS
gnutls_x509_crq_t cert
should contain a gnutls_x509_crq_t structure
unsigned int * critical
will be non zero if the extension is marked as critical
int * ca pointer to output integer indicating CA status, may be
NULL, value is 1 if the certificate CA flag is set, 0 oth-
erwise.
int * pathlen
pointer to output integer indicating path length (may be
NULL), non-negative values indicate a present pathLenCon-
straint field and the actual value, -1 indicate that the
field is absent.
DESCRIPTION
This function will read the certificate's basic constraints, and return
the certificates CA status. It reads the basicConstraints X.509 exten-
sion (2.5.29.19).
RETURN VALUE
If the certificate is a CA a positive value will be returned, or zero
if the certificate does not have CA flag set. A negative value may be
returned in case of errors. If the certificate does not contain the
basicConstraints extension GNUTLS_E_REQUESTED_DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE will
be returned.
