Synopsis

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_privkey_import(gnutls_x509_privkey_t key, const gnutls_datum_t * data, gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t format);

const gnutls_datum_t * data: The DER or PEM encoded certificate.

This function will convert the given DER or PEM encoded key to the native gnutls_x509_privkey_t format. The output will be stored in

If the key is PEM encoded it should have a header that contains "PRIVATE KEY". Note that this function falls back to PKCS 8 decoding without password, if the default format fails to import.
