# gnutls\_ocsp\_resp\_get\_response(3)

API function

## NAME

gnutls\_ocsp\_resp\_get\_response - API function

## SYNOPSIS

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

**int gnutls\_ocsp\_resp\_get\_response(gnutls\_ocsp\_resp\_const\_t** *resp***, gnutls\_datum\_t \*** *response\_type\_oid***, gnutls\_datum\_t \*** *response***);**

## ARGUMENTS

- gnutls\_ocsp\_resp\_const\_t resp

  should contain a **gnutls\_ocsp\_resp\_t** type

- gnutls\_datum\_t \* response\_type\_oid

  newly allocated output buffer with response type OID

- gnutls\_datum\_t \* response

  newly allocated output buffer with DER encoded response

## DESCRIPTION

This function will extract the response type OID in and the response data from an OCSP response.  Normally the\
  *response\_type\_oid* is always "1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.1.1" which means the\
  *response* should be decoded as a Basic OCSP Response, but technically other response types could be used.

This function is typically only useful when you want to extract the response type OID of an response for diagnostic purposes. Otherwise **gnutls\_ocsp\_resp\_import()** will decode the basic OCSP response part and the caller need not worry about that aspect.

Since 3.7.0  *response\_type\_oid* -\>size does not account for the terminating null byte.

## RETURNS

On success, **GNUTLS\_E\_SUCCESS** (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value.
