NAME         top

       gnutls_pkcs11_obj_get_pk_algorithm - API function

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <gnutls/pkcs11.h>

       int gnutls_pkcs11_obj_get_pk_algorithm(gnutls_pkcs11_obj_t obj,
       unsigned int * bits);

ARGUMENTS         top

       gnutls_pkcs11_obj_t obj
                   The pkcs11 object

       unsigned int * bits
                   Will hold the rsa/dsa bit count or the ecc curve This
                   function given a pkcs11 object with privkey_type
                   initialized, will return the algorithm type on success
                   , and will store the number of bits if the algo type
                   is GNUTLS_PK_RSA or GNUTLS_PK_DSA, or the curve if the
                   algo type is GNUTLS_PK_ECDSA.

DESCRIPTION         top

       The return value needs to be checked to determine if bits
       represents the ecc curve or the number of bits.

RETURNS         top

       The private key algorithm associated with the object on success or
       a an error code otherwise.

SINCE         top
