[Help-gnutls] gnutls_x509_crq_get_dn_by_oid

[Daniel Stenberg]

Hello!

Can you please clarify what gnutls_x509_crq_get_dn_by_oid() stores in the area 
I point out to it with the 'buf' argument?

The docs says it should be "a pointer to a structure to hold the name", but 
doesn't mention what structure or how such a struct should look like.

I currently use it like this:

  size=sizeof(certbuf);
  rc = gnutls_x509_crt_get_dn_by_oid(x509_cert, GNUTLS_OID_X520_COMMON_NAME,
                                     0, /* the first and only one */
                                     TRUE, /* give to me raw please */
                                     certbuf,
                                     &size);

... but I can't make sense from what it provides.
