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

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

@var{buf}: a pointer to a structure that holds the attribute data

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

This function will set the attribute in the certificate request
specified by the given Object ID. The provided attribute must be be DER
encoded.

Attributes in a certificate request is an optional set of data
appended to the request. Their interpretation depends on the CA policy.

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