gnutls_credentials_set(3)					      gnutls						 gnutls_credentials_set(3)

NAME

       gnutls_credentials_set - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       int gnutls_credentials_set(gnutls_session_t session, gnutls_credentials_type_t type, void * cred);

ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_session_t session
		   is a gnutls_session_t structure.

       gnutls_credentials_type_t type
		   is the type of the credentials

       void * cred is a pointer to a structure.

DESCRIPTION

       Sets  the  needed  credentials  for  the specified type.  Eg username, password - or public and private keys etc.  The  cred parameter is a
       structure that depends on the specified type and on the current session (client or server).

       In order to minimize memory usage, and share credentials between several threads gnutls keeps a pointer to cred, and  not  the  whole  cred
       structure.  Thus you will have to keep the structure allocated until you call gnutls_deinit().

       For  GNUTLS_CRD_ANON,   cred  should  be  gnutls_anon_client_credentials_t  in  case  of  a  client.   In  case	of  a  server it should be
       gnutls_anon_server_credentials_t.

       For GNUTLS_CRD_SRP,  cred should be gnutls_srp_client_credentials_t in case of a client, and gnutls_srp_server_credentials_t, in case of  a
       server.

       For GNUTLS_CRD_CERTIFICATE,  cred should be gnutls_certificate_credentials_t.

RETURNS

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

NAME

       gnutls_init - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       int gnutls_init(gnutls_session_t * session, unsigned int flags);

ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_session_t * session
		   is a pointer to a gnutls_session_t structure.

       unsigned int flags
		   indicate if this session is to be used for server or client.

DESCRIPTION

       This  function  initializes  the current session to null. Every session must be initialized before use, so internal structures can be allo-
       cated.  This function allocates structures which can only be free'd by calling gnutls_deinit().	Returns GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) on success.

	flags can be one of GNUTLS_CLIENT and GNUTLS_SERVER. For a DTLS entity, the flags GNUTLS_DATAGRAM and  GNUTLS_NONBLOCK are also available.
       The latter flag will enable a non-blocking operation of the DTLS timers.

       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_EXTENSIONS flag.

RETURNS

       GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS on success, or an error code.
