NAME

       gnutls_certificate_type_get2 - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       gnutls_certificate_type_t  gnutls_certificate_type_get2(gnutls_session_t  session,  gnutls_ctype_target_t
       target);

ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_session_t session
                   is a gnutls_session_t type.

       gnutls_ctype_target_t target
                   is a gnutls_ctype_target_t type.

DESCRIPTION

       This function returns the type of the certificate that a side is negotiated to use.  The certificate type
       is by default X.509, unless an alternative certificate type is enabled by  gnutls_init()  and  negotiated
       during the session.

       The   target  parameter  specifies  whether  to  request  the  negotiated certificate type for the client
       (GNUTLS_CTYPE_CLIENT), or for the server (GNUTLS_CTYPE_SERVER). Additionally, in P2P mode connection  set
       up  where  you  don't  know  in  advance  who  will be client and who will be server you can use the flag
       (GNUTLS_CTYPE_OURS) and (GNUTLS_CTYPE_PEERS) to retrieve the corresponding certificate types.

       Resumed sessions will return the certificate type that was negotiated and used in the  original  session.
       That  is,  this  function  can  be  used  to  reliably  determine the type of the certificate returned by
       gnutls_certificate_get_peers().

RETURNS

       the currently used gnutls_certificate_type_t certificate type for the client or the server.

SINCE

       3.6.4
