**#include <gnutls/x509.h>**

**int gnutls\_x509\_dn\_export(gnutls\_x509\_dn\_t dn, gnutls\_x509\_crt\_fmt\_t format, void * output\_data, size\_t * output\_data\_size);**

# [ARGUMENTS](#ARGUMENTS)

[gnutls\_x509\_dn\_t dn](#gnutls_x509_dn_t)

Holds the uint8\_t DN object

[gnutls\_x509\_crt\_fmt\_t format](#gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t)

[void * output\_data](#void)

will contain a DN PEM or DER encoded

[size\_t * output\_data\_size](#size_t)

holds the size of output\_data (and will be replaced by the actual size of parameters)

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

This function will export the DN to DER or PEM format.

If the buffer provided is not long enough to hold the output, then * *output\_data\_size* is updated and **GNUTLS\_E\_SHORT\_MEMORY\_BUFFER** will be returned.

If the structure is PEM encoded, it will have a header of "BEGIN NAME".
