For this reason this function +accepts any kind of data as a serial number. To be consistent +with the X.509/PKIX specifications the provided \fIserial\fP should be +a big\-endian positive number (i.e. its leftmost bit should be zero). + +The size of the serial is restricted to 20 bytes maximum by RFC5280. +This function allows writing more than 20 bytes but the generated +certificates in that case may be rejected by other implementations. +.SH "RETURNS" +On success, \fBGNUTLS_E_SUCCESS\fP (0) is returned, otherwise a +negative error value. +.SH "REPORTING BUGS" +Report bugs to <bugs@gnutls.org>. +.br +Home page: https://www.gnutls.org + +.SH COPYRIGHT +Copyright \(co 2001- Free Software Foundation, Inc., and others. +.br +Copying and distribution of this file, with or without modification, +are permitted in any medium without royalty provided the copyright +notice and this notice are preserved. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +The full documentation for +.B gnutls +is maintained as a Texinfo manual. +If the /usr/share/doc/gnutls/ +directory does not contain the HTML form visit +.B +.IP https://www.gnutls.org/manual/ +.PP |
