# gnutls\_encode\_rs\_value(3)

API function

## NAME

gnutls\_encode\_rs\_value - API function

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<gnutls/crypto.h\>**

**int gnutls\_encode\_rs\_value(gnutls\_datum\_t \*** *sig\_value***, const gnutls\_datum\_t \*** *r***, const gnutls\_datum\_t \*** *s***);**

## ARGUMENTS

- gnutls\_datum\_t \* sig\_value

  will hold a Dss-Sig-Value DER encoded structure

- const gnutls\_datum\_t \* r

  must contain the r value

- const gnutls\_datum\_t \* s

  must contain the s value

## DESCRIPTION

This function will encode the provided r and s values,  into a Dss-Sig-Value structure, used for DSA and ECDSA signatures.

The output value should be deallocated using **gnutls\_free()**.

## RETURNS

On success, **GNUTLS\_E\_SUCCESS** (0) is returned, otherwise an error code is returned.

## SINCE

3\.6.0
