@deftypefun {int} {gnutls_x509_privkey_export2_pkcs8} (gnutls_x509_privkey_t @var{key}, gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t @var{format}, const char * @var{password}, unsigned int @var{flags}, gnutls_datum_t * @var{out}) @var{key}: Holds the key @var{format}: the format of output params. One of PEM or DER. @var{password}: the password that will be used to encrypt the key. @var{flags}: an ORed sequence of gnutls_pkcs_encrypt_flags_t @var{out}: will contain a private key PEM or DER encoded This function will export the private key to a PKCS8 structure. Both RSA and DSA keys can be exported. For DSA keys we use PKCS @code{11} definitions. If the flags do not specify the encryption cipher, then the default 3DES (PBES2) will be used. The @code{password} can be either ASCII or UTF-8 in the default PBES2 encryption schemas, or ASCII for the PKCS12 schemas. The output buffer is allocated using @code{gnutls_malloc()} . If the structure is PEM encoded, it will have a header of "BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY" or "BEGIN PRIVATE KEY" if encryption is not used. @strong{Returns:} In case of failure a negative error code will be returned, and 0 on success.
