NAME

6       gnutls_handshake_set_max_packet_length - API function
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
10
11       void  gnutls_handshake_set_max_packet_length(gnutls_session_t  session,
12       size_t max);
13

ARGUMENTS

15       gnutls_session_t session
16                   is a gnutls_session_t structure.
17
18       size_t max  is the maximum number.
19

DESCRIPTION

21       This function will set the maximum  size  of  all  handshake  messages.
22       Handshakes   over   this   size   are   rejected   with  GNUTLS_E_HAND‐
23       SHAKE_TOO_LARGE error code.  The default value is 48kb which  is  typi‐
24       cally  large  enough.  Set this to 0 if you do not want to set an upper
25       limit.
26
27       The reason for restricting the handshake message  sizes  are  to  limit
28       Denial of Service attacks.
