API function

## NAME

gnutls\_x509\_crt\_get\_inhibit\_anypolicy - API function

## SYNOPSIS

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

**int gnutls\_x509\_crt\_get\_inhibit\_anypolicy(gnutls\_x509\_crt\_t** *cert***, unsigned int \*** *skipcerts***, unsigned int \*** *critical***);**

## ARGUMENTS

- gnutls\_x509\_crt\_t cert

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

- unsigned int \* skipcerts

  will hold the number of certificates after which anypolicy is no longer acceptable.

- unsigned int \* critical

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

## DESCRIPTION

This function will return certificate's value of the SkipCerts, i.e., the Inhibit anyPolicy X.509 extension (2.5.29.54).

The returned value is the number of additional certificates that may appear in the path before the anyPolicy is no longer acceptable.
