.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <gnutls/x509.h>
.sp
.BI "int gnutls_x509_crt_get_dn(gnutls_x509_crt_t " cert ", char * " buf ", size_t * " buf_size ");"
.SH ARGUMENTS
.IP "gnutls_x509_crt_t cert" 12
should contain a \fBgnutls_x509_crt_t\fP type
.IP "char * buf" 12
a pointer to a structure to hold the name (may be null)
.IP "size_t * buf_size" 12

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
This function will copy the name of the Certificate in the provided
buffer. The name will be in the form "C=xxxx,O=yyyy,CN=zzzz" as
described in RFC4514. The output string will be ASCII or UTF\-8
encoded, depending on the certificate data.

The  \fIbuf\fP returned will be null terminated and the  \fIbuf_size\fP will account
for the trailing null. If  \fIbuf\fP is null then only the size will be filled.

This function does not output a fully RFC4514 compliant string, if
that is required see \fBgnutls_x509_crt_get_dn3()\fP.
.SH "RETURNS"
\fBGNUTLS_E_SHORT_MEMORY_BUFFER\fP if the provided buffer is not
long enough, and in that case the  \fIbuf_size\fP will be updated
with the required size. \fBGNUTLS_E_REQUESTED_DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE\fP if
the DN does not exist, or another error value on error. On success 0 is returned.
