gnutls_server_name_set(3) gnutlsgnutls_server_name_set(3)gnutls_server_name_set - API function
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>int gnutls_server_name_set(gnutls_session_tsession,gnutls_server_name_type_ttype, const void *name, size_tname_length);
gnutls_session_t session is agnutls_session_ttype. gnutls_server_name_type_t type specifies the indicator type const void * name is a string that contains the server name. size_t name_length holds the length of name excluding the terminating null byte
This function is to be used by clients that want to inform (via a TLS extension mechanism) the server of the name they connected to. This should be used by clients that connect to servers that do virtual hosting. The value ofname depends on thetype type. In case ofGNUTLS_NAME_DNS, a UTF-8 null-terminated domain name string, without the trailing dot, is expected. IPv4 or IPv6 addresses are not permitted to be set by this function. If the function is called with a name ofname_length zero it will clear all server names set.
On success,GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS(0) is returned, otherwise a negative error code is returned.
