gnutls_dh_set_prime_bits(3)	     gnutls	     gnutls_dh_set_prime_bits(3)

NAME
     gnutls_dh_set_prime_bits - API function

SYNOPSIS
     #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

     void gnutls_dh_set_prime_bits(gnutls_session_t session, unsigned int bits);

ARGUMENTS
     gnutls_session_t session
		 is a gnutls_session_t type.

     unsigned int bits
		 is the number of bits

DESCRIPTION
     This  function sets the number of bits, for use in a Diffie-Hellman key ex-
     change.  This is used both in DH ephemeral and DH anonymous cipher  suites.
     This will set the minimum size of the prime that will be used for the hand-
     shake.

     In  the  client  side  it	sets  the minimum accepted number of bits.  If a
     server sends a prime with less bits than  that  GNUTLS_E_DH_PRIME_UNACCEPT-
     ABLE will be returned by the handshake.

     Note  that this function will warn via the audit log for value that are be-
     lieved to be weak.

     The function has no effect in server side.

     Note that since 3.1.7 this function is deprecated. The  minimum  number  of
     bits  is  set  by	the  priority  string level.  Also this function must be
     called after gnutls_priority_set_direct() or the set value may be	overrid-
     den by the selected priority options.
