# gnutls\_x509\_crq\_get\_signature\_algorithm(3)

API function

## NAME

gnutls\_x509\_crq\_get\_signature\_algorithm - API function

## SYNOPSIS

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

**int gnutls\_x509\_crq\_get\_signature\_algorithm(gnutls\_x509\_crq\_t** *crq***);**

## ARGUMENTS

- gnutls\_x509\_crq\_t crq

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

## DESCRIPTION

This function will return a value of the **gnutls\_sign\_algorithm\_t** enumeration that is the signature algorithm that has been used to sign this certificate request.

Since 3.6.0 this function never returns a negative error code. Error cases and unknown/unsupported signature algorithms are mapped to **GNUTLS\_SIGN\_UNKNOWN**.

## RETURNS

a **gnutls\_sign\_algorithm\_t** value

## SINCE

3\.4.0
