gnutls_session_get_id(3)            gnutls            gnutls_session_get_id(3)

NAME
       gnutls_session_get_id - API function

SYNOPSIS
       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       int  gnutls_session_get_id(gnutls_session_t session, void * session_id,
       size_t * session_id_size);

ARGUMENTS
       gnutls_session_t session
                   is a gnutls_session_t type.

       void * session_id
                   is a pointer to space to hold the session id.

       size_t * session_id_size
                   initially should contain the maximum  session_id  size  and
                   will be updated.

DESCRIPTION
       Returns  the  TLS session identifier. The session ID is selected by the
       server, and in older versions of TLS was a unique identifier shared be-
       tween client and server which was persistent across resumption.  In the
       latest version of TLS (1.3) or TLS with session tickets, the notion  of
       session  identifiers  is  undefined  and  cannot be relied for uniquely
       identifying sessions across client and server.

       In client side this function returns the  identifier  returned  by  the
       server,  and  cannot be assumed to have any relation to session resump-
       tion.  In server side this function is guaranteed to return  a  persis-
       tent identifier of the session since GnuTLS 3.6.4, which may not neces-
       sarily map into the TLS session ID value. Prior  to  that  version  the
       value could only be considered a persistent identifier, under TLS1.2 or
       earlier and when no session tickets were in use.

       The  session  identifier   value   returned   is   always   less   than
       GNUTLS_MAX_SESSION_ID_SIZE.

RETURNS
       On  success,  GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise an error code
       is returned.
