@deftypefun {int} {gnutls_x509_crt_get_subject_unique_id} (gnutls_x509_crt_t @var{crt}, char * @var{buf}, size_t * @var{buf_size})

@var{crt}: Holds the certificate

@var{buf}: user allocated memory buffer, will hold the unique id

@var{buf_size}: size of user allocated memory buffer (on input), will hold

actual size of the unique ID on return.

This function will extract the subjectUniqueID value (if present) for

the given certificate.

If the user allocated memory buffer is not large enough to hold the

full subjectUniqueID, then a GNUTLS_E_SHORT_MEMORY_BUFFER error will be

returned, and buf_size will be set to the actual length.

This function had a bug prior to 3.4.8 that prevented the setting

of @code{NULL}   @code{buf} to discover the  @code{buf_size} . To use this function safely

with the older versions the  @code{buf} must be a valid buffer that can hold

at least a single byte if  @code{buf_size} is zero.

@strong{Returns:} @code{GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS}  on success, otherwise a negative error code.
