API function

## NAME

gnutls\_x509\_crq\_get\_extension\_by\_oid2 - API function

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<gnutls/x509.h\>**

**int gnutls\_x509\_crq\_get\_extension\_by\_oid2(gnutls\_x509\_crq\_t** *crq***, const char \*** *oid***, unsigned** *indx***, gnutls\_datum\_t \*** *output***, unsigned int \*** *critical***);**

## ARGUMENTS

- gnutls\_x509\_crq\_t crq

  should contain a **gnutls\_x509\_crq\_t** type

- const char \* oid

  holds an Object Identifier in a null terminated string

- unsigned indx

  In case multiple same OIDs exist in the extensions, this specifies which to get. Use (0) to get the first one.

- gnutls\_datum\_t \* output

  will hold the allocated extension data

- unsigned int \* critical

  will be non-zero if the extension is marked as critical

## DESCRIPTION

This function will return the extension specified by the OID in the certificate.  The extensions will be returned as binary data DER encoded, in the provided buffer.

## RETURNS

On success, **GNUTLS\_E\_SUCCESS** (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error code in case of an error.  If the certificate does not contain the specified extension **GNUTLS\_E\_REQUESTED\_DATA\_NOT\_AVAILABLE** will be returned.
