gnutls_record_recv_packet – API function

Synopsis

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

ssize_t gnutls_record_recv_packet(gnutls_session_t session, gnutls_packet_t * packet);

Arguments

gnutls_session_t session

is a gnutls_session_t structure.

gnutls_packet_t * packet

the structure that will hold the packet data

Description

This is a lower-level function thatn gnutls_record_recv() and allows to directly receive the whole decrypted packet. That avoids a memory copy, and is mostly applicable to applications seeking high performance.

The received packet is accessed using gnutls_packet_get() and must be deinitialized using gnutls_packet_deinit(). The returned packet will be NULL if the return value is zero (EOF).

Returns

The number of bytes received and zero on EOF (for stream connections). A negative error code is returned in case of an error.

Since

3.3.5
