gnutls_init(3) gnutls gnutls_init(3)
gnutls_init - API function
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
int gnutls_init(gnutls_session_t * session, unsigned int flags);
gnutls_session_t * session
is a pointer to a gnutls_session_t type.
unsigned int flags
indicate if this session is to be used for server or
client.
This function initializes the provided session. Every session
must be initialized before use, and after successful
initialization and use must be deinitialized by calling
gnutls_deinit().
flags can be any combination of flags from gnutls_init_flags_t.
Note that since version 3.1.2 this function enables some common
TLS extensions such as session tickets and OCSP certificate
status request in client side by default. To prevent that use the
GNUTLS_NO_DEFAULT_EXTENSIONS flag.
Note that it is never mandatory to use gnutls_deinit() after this
function fails. Since gnutls 3.8.0, it is safe to
unconditionally use gnutls_deinit() even after failure regardless
of whether the memory was initialized prior to gnutls_init();
however, clients wanting to be portable to older versions of the
library should either skip deinitialization on failure, or
pre-initialize the memory passed in to gnutls_init() to all
zeroes via memset() or similar.
GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS on success, or an error code.
