# gnutls\_pcert\_import\_x509\_list(3)

API function

## NAME

gnutls\_pcert\_import\_x509\_list - API function

## SYNOPSIS

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

**int gnutls\_pcert\_import\_x509\_list(gnutls\_pcert\_st \*** *pcert\_list***, gnutls\_x509\_crt\_t \*** *crt***, unsigned \*** *ncrt***, unsigned int** *flags***);**

## ARGUMENTS

- gnutls\_pcert\_st \* pcert\_list

  The structures to store the certificates; must not contain initialized **gnutls\_pcert\_st** structures.

- gnutls\_x509\_crt\_t \* crt

  The certificates to be imported

- unsigned \* ncrt

  The number of certificates in  *crt* ; will be updated if necessary

- unsigned int flags

  zero or **GNUTLS\_X509\_CRT\_LIST\_SORT**

## DESCRIPTION

This convenience function will import the given certificates to an already allocated set of **gnutls\_pcert\_st** structures. The structures must be deinitialized afterwards using **gnutls\_pcert\_deinit()**.  *pcert\_list* should contain space for at least  *ncrt* elements.

In the case **GNUTLS\_X509\_CRT\_LIST\_SORT** is specified and that function cannot sort the list, **GNUTLS\_E\_CERTIFICATE\_LIST\_UNSORTED** will be returned. Currently sorting can fail if the list size exceeds an internal constraint (16).

## RETURNS

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

## SINCE

3\.4.0
