NAME

6       gnutls_init - API function
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
10
11       int  gnutls_init(gnutls_session_t  *  session,  gnutls_connection_end_t
12       con_end);
13

ARGUMENTS

15       gnutls_session_t * session
16                   is a pointer to a gnutls_session_t structure.
17
18       gnutls_connection_end_t con_end
19                   indicate if this session  is  to  be  used  for  server  or
20                   client.
21

DESCRIPTION

23       This  function  initializes  the current session to null. Every session
24       must be initialized before use, so internal  structures  can  be  allo‐
25       cated.   This function allocates structures which can only be free'd by
26       calling gnutls_deinit().  Returns zero on success.
27
28       con_end can be one of GNUTLS_CLIENT and GNUTLS_SERVER.
29

RETURNS

31       GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS on success, or an error code.
