# gnutls\_pkcs11\_privkey\_import\_url(3)

API function

## NAME

gnutls\_pkcs11\_privkey\_import\_url - API function

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<gnutls/pkcs11.h\>**

**int gnutls\_pkcs11\_privkey\_import\_url(gnutls\_pkcs11\_privkey\_t** *pkey***, const char \*** *url***, unsigned int** *flags***);**

## ARGUMENTS

- gnutls\_pkcs11\_privkey\_t pkey

  The private key

- const char \* url

  a PKCS 11 url identifying the key

- unsigned int flags

  Or sequence of GNUTLS\_PKCS11\_OBJ\_\* flags

## DESCRIPTION

This function will "import" a PKCS 11 URL identifying a private key to the **gnutls\_pkcs11\_privkey\_t** type. In reality since in most cases keys cannot be exported, the private key structure is being associated with the available operations on the token.

## RETURNS

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