13 will be non zero if the extension is marked as critical
15 This function will return certificates CA status, by reading the
16 basicConstraints X.509 extension (2.5.29.19). If the certificate is
17 a CA a positive value will be returned, or zero if the certificate
18 does not have CA flag set.
20 Use \fBgnutls_x509_crt_get_basic_constraints()\fP if you want to read the
21 pathLenConstraint field too.
23 A negative value may be returned in case of parsing error.
24 If the certificate does not contain the basicConstraints extension
25 \fBGNUTLS_E_REQUESTED_DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE\fP will be returned.
