@deftypefun {int} {gnutls_x509_crt_sign2} (gnutls_x509_crt_t @var{crt}, gnutls_x509_crt_t @var{issuer}, gnutls_x509_privkey_t @var{issuer_key}, gnutls_digest_algorithm_t @var{dig}, unsigned int @var{flags})
@var{crt}: a certificate of type @code{gnutls_x509_crt_t} 

@var{issuer}: is the certificate of the certificate issuer

@var{issuer_key}: holds the issuer's private key

@var{dig}: The message digest to use, @code{GNUTLS_DIG_SHA256}  is a safe choice

@var{flags}: must be 0

This function will sign the certificate with the issuer's private key, and
will copy the issuer's information into the certificate.

This must be the last step in a certificate generation since all
the previously set parameters are now signed.

A known limitation of this function is, that a newly-signed certificate will not
be fully functional (e.g., for signature verification), until it
is exported an re-imported.

After GnuTLS 3.6.1 the value of  @code{dig} may be @code{GNUTLS_DIG_UNKNOWN} ,
and in that case, a suitable but reasonable for the key algorithm will be selected.

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