NAME

       gnutls_load_file - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       int gnutls_load_file(const char * filename, gnutls_datum_t * data);

ARGUMENTS

       const char * filename
                   the name of the file to load

       gnutls_datum_t * data
                   Where the file will be stored

DESCRIPTION

       This function will load a file into a datum. The data are zero terminated but the terminating null is not
       included in length.  The returned data are allocated using gnutls_malloc().

       Note  that  this  function  is  not  designed  for  reading sensitive materials, such as private keys, on
       practical applications. When the reading fails in the middle, the partially loaded content  might  remain
       on memory.

RETURNS

       On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise an error code is returned.

       Since 3.1.0
