    gnutls_pkcs11_add_provider (const char *name,
                                const char *params);

This function will load and add a PKCS 11 module to the module list used in gnutls. After this function is called the module will be used for PKCS 11 operations.

When loading a module to be used for certificate verification, use the string 'trusted' as `params` .

Note that this function is not thread safe.

#### Parameters

name | The filename of the module |
params | should be NULL |

Normally you don't need to call this function since it is being called when the first PKCS 11 operation is requested using the `GNUTLS_PKCS11_FLAG_AUTO` flag. If another flags are required then it must be called independently prior to any PKCS 11 operation.

#### Parameters

flags | An ORed sequence of `GNUTLS_PKCS11_FLAG_`* |

If the buffer provided is not long enough to hold the output, then *output_data_size is updated and GNUTLS_E_SHORT_MEMORY_BUFFER will be returned.

#### Parameters

obj | Holds the object |
output_data | will contain the object data |
output_data_size | holds the size of output_data (and will be replaced by the actual size of parameters) |

### gnutls_pkcs11_reinit ()

    int

This function will reinitialize the PKCS 11 subsystem in gnutls. This is required by PKCS 11 when an application uses `fork()`. The reinitialization function must be called on the child.

Note that since GnuTLS 3.3.0, the reinitialization of the PKCS 11 subsystem occurs automatically after fork.

#### Returns

On success, `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS` (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value.

Since 3.0
