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 type.
unsigned int flags
indicate if this session is to be used for server or
client.
DESCRIPTION
This function initializes the provided session. Every session must be
initialized before use, and must be deinitialized after used 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 ex-
tensions 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.
