NAME
       gnutls_x509_privkey_import_pkcs8 - API function


SYNOPSIS
       #include <gnutls/x509.h>

       int    gnutls_x509_privkey_import_pkcs8(gnutls_x509_privkey_t   key,   const   gnutls_datum_t   *   data,
       gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t format, const char * password, unsigned int flags);


ARGUMENTS
       gnutls_x509_privkey_t key
                   The data to store the parsed key

       const gnutls_datum_t * data
                   The DER or PEM encoded key.

       gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t format
                   One of DER or PEM

       const char * password
                   the password to decrypt the key (if it is encrypted).

       unsigned int flags
                   0 if encrypted or GNUTLS_PKCS_PLAIN if not encrypted.


DESCRIPTION
       This function will convert the  given  DER  or  PEM  encoded  PKCS8  2.0  encrypted  key  to  the  native
       gnutls_x509_privkey_t format. The output will be stored in  key .  Both RSA and DSA keys can be imported,
       and flags can only be used to indicate an unencrypted key.

       The   password  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  GNUTLS_PKCS_PLAIN   flag   is   specified   and   the   supplied   data   are   encrypted   then
       GNUTLS_E_DECRYPTION_FAILED is returned.


RETURNS
       On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value.
