NAME
       gnutls_x509_crt_get_issuer_dn - This function returns the Certificate's
       issuer distinguished name

SYNOPSIS
       #include <gnutls/x509.h>

       int gnutls_x509_crt_get_issuer_dn(gnutls_x509_crt_t cert, char  *  buf,
       size_t * sizeof_buf);

ARGUMENTS
       gnutls_x509_crt_t cert

		   should contain a gnutls_x509_crt_t structure

       char * buf  a pointer to a structure to hold the name (may be null)

       size_t * sizeof_buf

		   initially holds the size of buf

DESCRIPTION
       This  function will copy the name of the Certificate issuer in the pro-
       vided buffer. The name will be in the form  "C=xxxx,O=yyyy,CN=zzzz"  as
       described in RFC2253. The output string will be ASCII or UTF-8 encoded,
       depending on the certificate data.

       If buf is null then only the size will be filled.

RETURNS
       GNUTLS_E_SHORT_MEMORY_BUFFER if the provided buffer is not long enough,
       and  in	that  case  the  *sizeof_buf will be updated with the required
       size.  On success 0 is returned.
