The output will be stored in \fIkey\fP . Both RSA and DSA keys can be imported, and flags can only be used to indicate an unencrypted key. The \fIpassword\fP can be either ASCII or UTF\-8 in the default PBES2 encryption schemas, or ASCII for the PKCS12 schemas. If the Certificate is PEM encoded it should have a header of "ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY", or "PRIVATE KEY". You only need to specify the flags if the key is DER encoded, since in that case the encryption status cannot be auto\-detected. If the \fBGNUTLS_PKCS_PLAIN\fP flag is specified and the supplied data are encrypted then \fBGNUTLS_E_DECRYPTION_FAILED\fP is returned. .SH "RETURNS" On success, \fBGNUTLS_E_SUCCESS\fP (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value. .SH "REPORTING BUGS" Report bugs to . .br General guidelines for reporting bugs: http://www.gnu.org/gethelp/ .br GnuTLS home page: http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/ .SH COPYRIGHT Copyright \(co 2001-2013 Free Software Foundation, Inc.. .br Copying and distribution of this file, with or without modification, are permitted in any medium without royalty provided the copyright notice and this notice are preserved. .SH "SEE ALSO" The full documentation for .B gnutls is maintained as a Texinfo manual.
