.SH NAME
gnutls_x509_crt_get_preferred_hash_algorithm \- API function
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <gnutls/compat.h>
.sp
.BI "int gnutls_x509_crt_get_preferred_hash_algorithm(gnutls_x509_crt_t " crt ", gnutls_digest_algorithm_t * " hash ", unsigned int * " mand ");"
.SH ARGUMENTS
.IP "gnutls_x509_crt_t crt" 12
Holds the certificate
.IP "gnutls_digest_algorithm_t * hash" 12
The result of the call with the hash algorithm used for signature
.IP "unsigned int * mand" 12
If non\-zero it means that the algorithm MUST use this hash. May be \fBNULL\fP.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
This function will read the certificate and return the appropriate digest
algorithm to use for signing with this certificate. Some certificates (i.e.
DSA might not be able to sign without the preferred algorithm).
.SH "DEPRECATED"
Please use \fBgnutls_pubkey_get_preferred_hash_algorithm()\fP.
.SH "RETURNS"
the 0 if the hash algorithm is found. A negative error code is
returned on error.
.SH "SINCE"
2.12.0
.SH "REPORTING BUGS"
Report bugs to <bugs@gnutls.org>.
