ARGUMENTS


gnutls_x509_crt_t cert should contain a gnutls_x509_crt_t structure
unsigned int * critical will be non zero if the extension is marked as critical
int * pathlen pointer to output integer indicating path length (may be NULL), non-negative values indicate a present pCPathLenConstraint field and the actual value, -1 indicate that the field is absent.
