+.SH NAME
+gnutls_x509_crt_set_serial \- API function
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B #include <gnutls/x509.h>
+.sp
+.BI "int gnutls_x509_crt_set_serial(gnutls_x509_crt_t " cert ", const void * " serial ", size_t " serial_size ");"
+.SH ARGUMENTS
+.IP "gnutls_x509_crt_t cert" 12
+a certificate of type \fBgnutls_x509_crt_t\fP
+.IP "const void * serial" 12
+The serial number
+.IP "size_t serial_size" 12
+Holds the size of the serial field.
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+This function will set the X.509 certificate's serial number.
+While the serial number is an integer, it is often handled
+as an opaque field by several CAs. 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>.
