14
16 gnutls_session_t session
17 is a gnutls_session_t structure.
18
19 gnutls_credentials_type_t type
20 is the type of the credentials
21
22 void * cred is a pointer to a structure.
23
25 Sets the needed credentials for the specified type. Eg username, pass‐
26 word - or public and private keys etc. The (void* cred) parameter is a
27 structure that depends on the specified type and on the current session
28 (client or server). [ In order to minimize memory usage, and share
29 credentials between several threads gnutls keeps a pointer to cred, and
30 not the whole cred structure. Thus you will have to keep the structure
31 allocated until you call gnutls_deinit(). ]
32
33 For GNUTLS_CRD_ANON cred should be gnutls_anon_client_credentials_t in
34 case of a client. In case of a server it should be
35 gnutls_anon_server_credentials_t.
36
37 For GNUTLS_CRD_SRP cred should be gnutls_srp_client_credentials_t in
38 case of a client, and gnutls_srp_server_credentials_t, in case of a
39 server.
40
41 For GNUTLS_CRD_CERTIFICATE cred should be gnutls_certificate_creden‐
42 tials_t.
