gnutls_record_send_range(3) gnutlsgnutls_record_send_range(3)gnutls_record_send_range - API function
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>ssize_t gnutls_record_send_range(gnutls_session_tsession, constvoid *data, size_tdata_size, const gnutls_range_st *range);
gnutls_session_t session is agnutls_session_ttype. const void * data contains the data to send. size_t data_size is the length of the data. const gnutls_range_st * range is the range of lengths in which the real data length must be hidden.
This function operates likegnutls_record_send()but, whilegnutls_record_send()adds minimal padding to each TLS record, this function uses the TLS extra-padding feature to conceal the real data size within the range of lengths provided. Some TLS sessions do not support extra padding (e.g. stream ciphers in standard TLS or SSL3 sessions). To know whether the current session supports extra padding, and hence length hiding, use thegnutls_record_can_use_length_hiding()function.
This function currently is limited to blocking sockets.
The number of bytes sent (that is data_size in a successful invocation), or a negative error code.
