Previous: Creating a Signature, Up: Sign
Using the following functions, you can attach arbitrary notation data to a signature. This information is then available to the user when the signature is verified.
The function
gpgme_sig_notation_clear
removes the notation data from the context ctx. Subsequent signing operations from this context will not include any notation data.Every context starts with an empty notation data list.
The function
gpgme_sig_notation_add
adds the notation data with the name name and the value value to the context ctx.Subsequent signing operations will include this notation data, as well as any other notation data that was added since the creation of the context or the last
gpgme_sig_notation_clear
operation.The arguments name and value must be
NUL
-terminated strings in human-readable form. The flagGPGME_SIG_NOTATION_HUMAN_READABLE
is implied (non-human-readable notation data is currently not supported). The strings must be in UTF-8 encoding.If name is
NULL
, then value should be a policy URL.The function
gpgme_sig_notation_add
returns the error codeGPG_ERR_NO_ERROR
if the notation data could be added successfully,GPG_ERR_INV_VALUE
if ctx is not a valid pointer, or if name, value and flags are an invalid combination. The function also passes through any errors that are reported by the crypto engine support routines.
The function
gpgme_sig_notation_get
returns the linked list of notation data structures that are contained in the context ctx.If ctx is not a valid pointer, or there is no notation data added for this context,
NULL
is returned.
