gnutls_credentials_set(3) gnutlsgnutls_credentials_set(3)gnutls_credentials_set - API function
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>int gnutls_credentials_set(gnutls_session_tsession,gnutls_credentials_type_ttype, void *cred);
gnutls_session_t session is agnutls_session_ttype. gnutls_credentials_type_t type is the type of the credentials void * cred the credentials to set
Sets the needed credentials for the specified type. E.g. username, password - or public and private keys etc. Thecred parameter is a structure that depends on the specified type and on the current session (client or server). In order to minimize memory usage, and share credentials between several threads gnutls keeps a pointer to cred, and not the whole cred structure. Thus you will have to keep the structure allocated until you callgnutls_deinit(). ForGNUTLS_CRD_ANON,cred should begnutls_anon_client_credentials_tin case of a client. In case of a server it should begnutls_anon_server_credentials_t. ForGNUTLS_CRD_SRP,cred should begnutls_srp_client_credentials_tin case of a client, andgnutls_srp_server_credentials_t, in case of a server. ForGNUTLS_CRD_CERTIFICATE,cred should begnutls_certificate_credentials_t.
On success,GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS(0) is returned, otherwise a negative error code is returned.
