NAME
gnutls_fips140_set_mode - API function
SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
void gnutls_fips140_set_mode(gnutls_fips_mode_t mode, unsigned flags);
ARGUMENTS
gnutls_fips_mode_t mode
the FIPS140-2 mode to switch to
unsigned flags
should be zero or GNUTLS_FIPS140_SET_MODE_THREAD
DESCRIPTION
That function is not thread-safe when changing the mode with no flags
(globally), and should be called prior to creating any threads. Its be-
havior with no flags after threads are created is undefined.
When the flag GNUTLS_FIPS140_SET_MODE_THREAD is specified then this
call will change the FIPS140-2 mode for this particular thread and not
for the whole process. That way an application can utilize this func-
tion to set and reset mode for specific operations.
This function never fails but will be a no-op if used when the library
is not in FIPS140-2 mode. When asked to switch to unknown values for
mode or to GNUTLS_FIPS140_SELFTESTS mode, the library switches to
GNUTLS_FIPS140_STRICT mode.
SINCE
3.6.2
