gnutls_crypto_single_cipher_register2: register a cipher algorithm

NAME

gnutls_crypto_single_cipher_register2 - register a cipher algorithm

SYNOPSIS

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

int gnutls_crypto_single_cipher_register2(gnutls_cipher_algorithm_t algorithm, int priority, int version, gnutls_crypto_single_cipher_st * s);

ARGUMENTS

gnutls_cipher_algorithm_t algorithm

is the gnutls algorithm identifier

int priority

is the priority of the algorithm

int version

should be set to GNUTLS_CRYPTO_API_VERSION

gnutls_crypto_single_cipher_st * s

is a structure holding new cipher's data

DESCRIPTION

This function will register a cipher algorithm to be used by gnutls. Any algorithm registered will override the included algorithms and by convention kernel implemented algorithms have priority of 90. The algorithm with the lowest priority will be used by gnutls.

This function should be called before gnutls_global_init().

For simplicity you can use the convenience gnutls_crypto_single_cipher_register() macro.

RETURNS

GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS on success, otherwise an error.

SINCE

2.6.0
