NAME

6       gnutls_handshake_set_max_packet_length  -  set  the maximum size of the
7       handshake
8

SYNOPSIS

10       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
11
12       void  gnutls_handshake_set_max_packet_length(gnutls_session_t  session,
13       size_t max);
14

ARGUMENTS

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

DESCRIPTION

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