NAME
gnutls_handshake - API function SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h> int gnutls_handshake(gnutls_session_t session); ARGUMENTS
gnutls_session_t session is a gnutls_session_t structure. DESCRIPTION
This function does the handshake of the TLS/SSL protocol, and initializes the TLS connection. This function will fail if any problem is encountered, and will return a negative error code. In case of a client, if the client has asked to resume a session, but the server couldn't, then a full handshake will be performed. The non-fatal errors such as GNUTLS_E_AGAIN and GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED interrupt the handshake procedure, which should be resumed later. Call this function again, until it returns 0; cf. gnutls_record_get_direction() and gnutls_error_is_fatal(). If this function is called by a server after a rehandshake request then GNUTLS_E_GOT_APPLICATION_DATA or GNUTLS_E_WARNING_ALERT_RECEIVED may be returned. Note that these are non fatal errors, only in the specific case of a rehandshake. Their meaning is that the client rejected the rehandshake request or in the case of GNUTLS_E_GOT_APPLICATION_DATA it might also mean that some data were pending. RETURNS
GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS on success, otherwise a negative error code. REPORTING BUGS

NAME
gnutls_handshake_set_post_client_hello_function - API function SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h> void gnutls_handshake_set_post_client_hello_function(gnutls_session_t session, gnutls_handshake_post_client_hello_func func); ARGUMENTS
gnutls_session_t session is a gnutls_session_t structure. gnutls_handshake_post_client_hello_func func is the function to be called DESCRIPTION
This function will set a callback to be called after the client hello has been received (callback valid in server side only). This allows the server to adjust settings based on received extensions. Those settings could be ciphersuites, requesting certificate, or anything else except for version negotiation (this is done before the hello message is parsed). This callback must return 0 on success or a gnutls error code to terminate the handshake. WARNING
You should not use this function to terminate the handshake based on client input unless you know what you are doing. Before the handshake is finished there is no way to know if there is a man-in-the-middle attack being performed. REPORTING BUGS
