NAME
gnutls_ext_register - API function
SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
int gnutls_ext_register(const char * name, int id,
gnutls_ext_parse_type_t parse_point, gnutls_ext_recv_func recv_func,
gnutls_ext_send_func send_func, gnutls_ext_deinit_data_func deinit_func,
gnutls_ext_pack_func pack_func, gnutls_ext_unpack_func unpack_func);
ARGUMENTS
const char * name
the name of the extension to register
int id the numeric TLS id of the extension
gnutls_ext_parse_type_t parse_point
the parse type of the extension (see
gnutls_ext_parse_type_t)
gnutls_ext_recv_func recv_func
a function to receive the data
gnutls_ext_send_func send_func
a function to send the data
gnutls_ext_deinit_data_func deinit_func
a function deinitialize any private data
gnutls_ext_pack_func pack_func
a function which serializes the extension's private data
(used on session packing for resumption)
gnutls_ext_unpack_func unpack_func
a function which will deserialize the extension's private
data
DESCRIPTION
This function will register a new extension type. The extension will re-
main registered until gnutls_global_deinit() is called. If the extension
type is already registered then GNUTLS_E_ALREADY_REGISTERED will be re-
turned.
Each registered extension can store temporary data into the gnutls_ses-
sion_t structure using gnutls_ext_set_data(), and they can be retrieved
using gnutls_ext_get_data().
Any extensions registered with this function are valid for the client
and TLS1.2 server hello (or encrypted extensions for TLS1.3).
This function is not thread safe.
RETURNS
GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS on success, otherwise a negative error code.
SINCE
3.4.0
