## NAME

gnutls\_x509\_ext\_import\_inhibit\_anypolicy - API function

## SYNOPSIS

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

**int gnutls\_x509\_ext\_import\_inhibit\_anypolicy(const gnutls\_datum\_t \*** *ext***, unsigned int \*** *skipcerts***);**

## ARGUMENTS

- const gnutls\_datum\_t \* ext

  the DER encoded extension data

- unsigned int \* skipcerts

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

## DESCRIPTION

This function will return certificate's value of SkipCerts, by reading the DER data of the Inhibit anyPolicy X.509 extension (2.5.29.54).

The  *skipcerts* value is the number of additional certificates that may appear in the path before the anyPolicy (**GNUTLS\_X509\_OID\_POLICY\_ANY**) is no longer acceptable.
