@deftypefun {gnutls_certificate_type_t} {gnutls_certificate_type_get2} (gnutls_session_t @var{session}, gnutls_ctype_target_t @var{target})

@var{session}: is a @code{gnutls_session_t}  type.

@var{target}: is a @code{gnutls_ctype_target_t}  type.

This function returns the type of the certificate that a side

is negotiated to use.  The certificate type is by default X.509,

unless an alternative certificate type is enabled by @code{gnutls_init()}  and

negotiated during the session.

The  @code{target} parameter specifies whether to request the negotiated

certificate type for the client (@code{GNUTLS_CTYPE_CLIENT} ),

or for the server (@code{GNUTLS_CTYPE_SERVER} ). Additionally, in P2P mode

connection set up where you don't know in advance who will be client

and who will be server you can use the flag (@code{GNUTLS_CTYPE_OURS} ) and

(@code{GNUTLS_CTYPE_PEERS} ) to retrieve the corresponding certificate types.

Resumed sessions will return the certificate type that was negotiated

and used in the original session. That is, this function can be used

to reliably determine the type of the certificate returned by

@code{gnutls_certificate_get_peers()} .

@strong{Returns:} the currently used @code{gnutls_certificate_type_t}  certificate

type for the client or the server.

@strong{Since:} 3.6.4
