NAME¶

gnutls_init - API function

SYNOPSIS¶

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

int gnutls_init(gnutls_session_t * session, gnutls_connection_end_t con_end);

ARGUMENTS¶

gnutls_session_t * session

is a pointer to a gnutls_session_t structure.

gnutls_connection_end_t con_end

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 allocated. This function allocates structures which can only be free'd by calling gnutls_deinit(). Returns zero on success.

con_end can be one of GNUTLS_CLIENT and GNUTLS_SERVER.

RETURNS¶

GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS on success, or an error code.
