@deftypefun {int} {gnutls_x509_crq_get_extension_by_oid} (gnutls_x509_crq_t @var{crq}, const char * @var{oid}, unsigned @var{indx}, void * @var{buf}, size_t * @var{buf_size}, unsigned int * @var{critical})

@var{crq}: should contain a @code{gnutls_x509_crq_t}  type

@var{oid}: holds an Object Identifier in a null terminated string

@var{indx}: In case multiple same OIDs exist in the extensions, this

specifies which to get. Use (0) to get the first one.

@var{buf}: a pointer to a structure to hold the name (may be null)

@var{buf_size}: initially holds the size of  @code{buf} 

@var{critical}: will be non-zero if the extension is marked as critical

This function will return the extension specified by the OID in

the certificate.  The extensions will be returned as binary data

DER encoded, in the provided buffer.

@strong{Returns:} On success, @code{GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS}  (0) is returned, otherwise a

negative error code in case of an error.  If the certificate does not

contain the specified extension

@code{GNUTLS_E_REQUESTED_DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE}  will be returned.

@strong{Since:} 2.8.0
