+.SH ARGUMENTS
+.IP "gnutls_x509_privkey_t key" 12
+a key
+.IP "gnutls_pk_algorithm_t algo" 12
+is one of the algorithms in \fBgnutls_pk_algorithm_t\fP.
+.IP "unsigned int bits" 12
+the size of the modulus
+.IP "unsigned int flags" 12
+Must be zero or flags from \fBgnutls_privkey_flags_t\fP.
+.IP "const gnutls_keygen_data_st * data" 12
+Allow specifying \fBgnutls_keygen_data_st\fP types such as the seed to be used.
+.IP "unsigned data_size" 12
+The number of  \fIdata\fP available.
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+This function will generate a random private key. Note that this
+function must be called on an initialized private key.
+
+The flag \fBGNUTLS_PRIVKEY_FLAG_PROVABLE\fP
+instructs the key generation process to use algorithms like Shawe\-Taylor
+(from FIPS PUB186\-4) which generate provable parameters out of a seed
+for RSA and DSA keys. On DSA keys the PQG parameters are generated using the
+seed, while on RSA the two primes. To specify an explicit seed
+(by default a random seed is used), use the  \fIdata\fP with a \fBGNUTLS_KEYGEN_SEED\fP
+type.
+
+Note that when generating an elliptic curve key, the curve
+can be substituted in the place of the bits parameter using the
+\fBGNUTLS_CURVE_TO_BITS()\fP macro.
+
+To export the generated keys in memory or in files it is recommended to use the
+PKCS\fB8\fP form as it can handle all key types, and can store additional parameters
+such as the seed, in case of provable RSA or DSA keys.
+Generated keys can be exported in memory using \fBgnutls_privkey_export_x509()\fP,
+and then with \fBgnutls_x509_privkey_export2_pkcs8()\fP.
+
+If key generation is part of your application, avoid setting the number
+of bits directly, and instead use \fBgnutls_sec_param_to_pk_bits()\fP.
+That way the generated keys will adapt to the security levels
+of the underlying GnuTLS library.
+
+See also \fBgnutls_privkey_generate2()\fP.
+.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>.
