NAME

       gnutls_x509_privkey_sign_hash - sign hash using the private key

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/x509.h>

       int   gnutls_x509_privkey_sign_hash(gnutls_x509_privkey_t   key,  const
       gnutls_datum_t * hash, gnutls_datum_t * signature);

ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_x509_privkey_t key
                   Holds the key

       const gnutls_datum_t * hash
                   holds the data to be signed

       gnutls_datum_t * signature
                   will contain newly allocated signature

DESCRIPTION

       This function will sign the given hash using the private  key.  Do  not
       use  this function directly unless you know what it is. Typical signing
       requires the data to be hashed and stored in special formats (e.g.  BER
       Digest-Info for RSA).

RETURNS

       On  success,  GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS  is returned, otherwise a negative error
       value.
