.SH NAME
gnutls_x509_crq_set_dn_by_oid \- This function will set the Certificate request subject's distinguished name
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <gnutls/x509.h>
.sp
.BI "int gnutls_x509_crq_set_dn_by_oid(gnutls_x509_crq_t " crq ", const char * " oid ", unsigned int " raw_flag ", const void * " data ", unsigned int " sizeof_data ");"
.SH ARGUMENTS
.IP "gnutls_x509_crq_t crq" 12
should contain a gnutls_x509_crq_t structure
.IP "const char * oid" 12
holds an Object Identifier in a null terminated string
.IP "unsigned int raw_flag" 12
must be 0, or 1 if the data are DER encoded
.IP "const void * data" 12
a pointer to the input data
.IP "unsigned int sizeof_data" 12
holds the size of \fIdata\fP
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
This function will set the part of the name of the Certificate request subject, specified
by the given OID. The input string should be ASCII or UTF\-8 encoded.

Some helper macros with popular OIDs can be found in gnutls/x509.h
With this function you can only set the known OIDs. You can test
for known OIDs using \fBgnutls_x509_dn_oid_known()\fP. For OIDs that are
not known (by gnutls) you should properly DER encode your data, and
call this function with raw_flag set.
.SH "RETURNS"
On success, \fBGNUTLS_E_SUCCESS\fP is returned, otherwise a
negative error value.
.SH "REPORTING BUGS"
