gnutls_handshak...x_packet_length(3) gnutls gnutls_handshak...x_packet_length(3)

NAME
     gnutls_handshake_set_max_packet_length - API function

SYNOPSIS
     #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

     void    gnutls_handshake_set_max_packet_length(gnutls_session_t	session,
     size_t max);

ARGUMENTS
     gnutls_session_t session
		 is a gnutls_session_t type.

     size_t max  is the maximum number.

DESCRIPTION
     This function will set the maximum size of all handshake  messages.   Hand-
     shakes  over this size are rejected with GNUTLS_E_HANDSHAKE_TOO_LARGE error
     code.  The default value is 128kb which is  typically  large  enough.   Set
     this to 0 if you do not want to set an upper limit.

     The  reason for restricting the handshake message sizes are to limit Denial
     of Service attacks.

     Note that the maximum handshake size was increased to 128kb  from	48kb  in
     GnuTLS 3.5.5.
