# gnutls\_pubkey\_import\_ecc\_raw(3)

API function

## NAME

gnutls\_pubkey\_import\_ecc\_raw - API function

## SYNOPSIS

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

**int gnutls\_pubkey\_import\_ecc\_raw(gnutls\_pubkey\_t** *key***, gnutls\_ecc\_curve\_t** *curve***, const gnutls\_datum\_t \*** *x***, const gnutls\_datum\_t \*** *y***);**

## ARGUMENTS

- gnutls\_pubkey\_t key

  The structure to store the parsed key

- gnutls\_ecc\_curve\_t curve

  holds the curve

- const gnutls\_datum\_t \* x

  holds the x-coordinate

- const gnutls\_datum\_t \* y

  holds the y-coordinate

## DESCRIPTION

This function will convert the given elliptic curve parameters to a **gnutls\_pubkey\_t**.  The output will be stored in  *key* .

In EdDSA curves the  *y* parameter should be **NULL** and the  *x* parameter must be the value in the native format for the curve.

## RETURNS

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

## SINCE

3\.0
