@deftypefun {gnutls_pk_algorithm_t} {gnutls_pk_get_id} (const char * @var{name})

@var{name}: is a string containing a public key algorithm name.

Convert a string to a @code{gnutls_pk_algorithm_t}  value.  The names are

compared in a case insensitive way.  For example,

gnutls_pk_get_id("RSA") will return @code{GNUTLS_PK_RSA} .

@strong{Returns:} a @code{gnutls_pk_algorithm_t}  id of the specified public key

algorithm string, or @code{GNUTLS_PK_UNKNOWN}  on failures.

@strong{Since:} 2.6.0
