gnutls_fips140_set_mode(3)	    gnutls	    gnutls_fips140_set_mode(3)

NAME
       gnutls_fips140_set_mode - API function

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<gnutls/gnutls.h>

       void gnutls_fips140_set_mode(gnutls_fips_mode_t mode, unsigned flags);

ARGUMENTS
       gnutls_fips_mode_t mode
		   the FIPS140-2 mode to switch	to

       unsigned	flags
		   should be zero or GNUTLS_FIPS140_SET_MODE_THREAD

DESCRIPTION
       That  function  is not thread-safe when changing	the mode with no flags
       (globally), and should be called	prior to creating any threads. Its be-
       havior with no flags after threads are created is undefined.

       When the	flag GNUTLS_FIPS140_SET_MODE_THREAD  is	 specified  then  this
       call  will change the FIPS140-2 mode for	this particular	thread and not
       for the whole process. That way an application can utilize  this	 func-
       tion to set and reset mode for specific operations.

       This  function never fails but will be a	no-op if used when the library
       is not in FIPS140-2 mode. When asked to switch to  unknown  values  for
       mode  or	 to  GNUTLS_FIPS140_SELFTESTS  mode,  the  library switches to
       GNUTLS_FIPS140_STRICT mode.

SINCE
       3.6.2
