<p>The following functions are carried over from old GnuTLS released. They might be removed at a later version.
Their prototypes lie in <samp>gnutls/compat.h</samp>.

<dd><p><var>alloc_func</var>: it&rsquo;s the default memory allocation function. Like <code>malloc()</code> .
</p>
<p><var>secure_alloc_func</var>: This is the memory allocation function that will be used for sensitive data.
</p>
<p><var>is_secure_func</var>: a function that returns 0 if the memory given is not secure. May be NULL.
</p>
<p><var>realloc_func</var>: A realloc function
</p>
<p><var>free_func</var>: The function that frees allocated data. Must accept a NULL pointer.
</p>

<p><strong>Deprecated:</strong> since 3.3.0 it is no longer possible to replace the internally used 
memory allocation functions
</p>
<p>This is the function where you set the memory allocation functions
gnutls is going to use. By default the libc&rsquo;s allocation functions
(<code>malloc()</code> , <code>free()</code> ), are used by gnutls, to allocate both sensitive
and not sensitive data.  This function is provided to set the
memory allocation functions to something other than the defaults
</p>
<p>This function must be called before <code>gnutls_global_init()</code>  is called.
This function is not thread safe.

<p><var>hash</var>: holds the data to be signed

<p><var>signature</var>: will contain newly allocated signature

<p>This function will sign the given hash using the private key.  You
should use <code>gnutls_openpgp_privkey_set_preferred_key_id()</code>  before
calling this function to set the subkey to use.
</p>
<p><strong>Returns:</strong> On success, <code>GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS</code>  (0) is returned, otherwise a
negative error value.

<p><var>issuer</var>: is the certificate of the certificate issuer

</p>
<p>This function is the same a <code>gnutls_x509_crl_sign2()</code>  with no flags, and
SHA1 as the hash algorithm.
</p>
<p><strong>Returns:</strong> On success, <code>GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS</code>  (0) is returned, otherwise a

<p>This function will read the certificate and return the appropriate digest
algorithm to use for signing with this certificate. Some certificates (i.e.
DSA might not be able to sign without the preferred algorithm).
</p>
<p><strong>Deprecated:</strong> Please use <code>gnutls_pubkey_get_preferred_hash_algorithm()</code> .

<p><strong>Returns:</strong> the 0 if the hash algorithm is found. A negative error code is
returned on error.

<p>This function will sign the given hash using the private key. Do not
use this function directly unless you know what it is. Typical signing
requires the data to be hashed and stored in special formats 
(e.g. BER Digest-Info for RSA).

negative error value.
