NAME
gnutls_privkey_generate - API function
SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/abstract.h>
int gnutls_privkey_generate(gnutls_privkey_t pkey, gnutls_pk_algo‐
rithm_t algo, unsigned int bits, unsigned int flags);
ARGUMENTS
gnutls_privkey_t pkey
The private key
gnutls_pk_algorithm_t algo
is one of the algorithms in gnutls_pk_algorithm_t.
unsigned int bits
the size of the modulus
unsigned int flags
unused for now. Must be 0.
DESCRIPTION
This function will generate a random private key. Note that this func‐
tion must be called on an empty private key.
Note that when generating an elliptic curve key, the curve can be sub‐
stituted in the place of the bits parameter using the
GNUTLS_CURVE_TO_BITS() macro.
Do not set the number of bits directly, use
gnutls_sec_param_to_pk_bits().
RETURNS
On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative
error value.
SINCE
3.3.0
