gnutls_heartbeat_ping - API function
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h> int gnutls_heartbeat_ping(gnutls_session_t session, size_t data_size, unsigned int max_tries, unsigned int flags);
gnutls_session_t session is a gnutls_session_t type. size_t data_size is the length of the ping payload. unsigned int max_tries if flags is GNUTLS_HEARTBEAT_WAIT then this sets the number of retransmissions. Use zero for indefinite (until timeout). unsigned int flags if GNUTLS_HEARTBEAT_WAIT then wait for pong or timeout instead of returning immediately.
This function sends a ping to the peer. If the flags is set to GNUTLS_HEARTBEAT_WAIT then it waits for a reply from the peer. Note that it is highly recommended to use this function with the flag GNUTLS_HEARTBEAT_WAIT, or you need to handle retransmissions and timeouts manually. The total TLS data transmitted as part of the ping message are given by the following formula: MAX(16, data_size )+gnutls_record_overhead_size()+3.
GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS on success, otherwise a negative error code.
