NAME
gnutls_x509_crt_set_serial - API function
SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/x509.h>
int gnutls_x509_crt_set_serial(gnutls_x509_crt_t cert, const void
* serial, size_t serial_size);
ARGUMENTS
gnutls_x509_crt_t cert
a certificate of type gnutls_x509_crt_t
const void * serial
The serial number
size_t serial_size
Holds the size of the serial field.
DESCRIPTION
This function will set the X.509 certificate's serial number.
While the serial number is an integer, it is often handled as an
opaque field by several CAs. For this reason this function
accepts any kind of data as a serial number. To be consistent
with the X.509/PKIX specifications the provided serial should be
a big-endian positive number (i.e. its leftmost bit should be
zero).
The size of the serial is restricted to 20 bytes maximum by
RFC5280. This function allows writing more than 20 bytes but the
generated certificates in that case may be rejected by other
implementations.
RETURNS
On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a
negative error value.
