#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_rdn_get_by_oid(const gnutls_datum_t * idn, const char * oid, int indx, unsigned int raw_flag, void * buf, size_t * sizeof_buf);

const gnutls_datum_t * idn
    should contain a DER encoded RDN sequence

const char * oid

int indx
    In case multiple same OIDs exist in the RDN indicates which to send. Use 0 for the first one.

unsigned int raw_flag
    If non (0) then the raw DER data are returned.

void * buf
    a pointer to a structure to hold the peer's name

size_t * sizeof_buf
    holds the size of buf
