NAME
       gnutls_heartbeat_ping - API function

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<gnutls/gnutls.h>

       int  gnutls_heartbeat_ping(gnutls_session_t  session, size_t data_size,
       unsigned	int max_tries, unsigned	int flags);

ARGUMENTS
       gnutls_session_t	session
		   is a	gnutls_session_t type.

       size_t data_size
		   is the length of the	ping payload.

       unsigned	int max_tries
		   if flags is GNUTLS_HEARTBEAT_WAIT then this sets the	number
		   of retransmissions. Use zero	for  indefinite	 (until	 time-
		   out).

       unsigned	int flags
		   if  GNUTLS_HEARTBEAT_WAIT then wait for pong	or timeout in-
		   stead of returning immediately.

DESCRIPTION
       This function sends a ping to  the  peer.  If  the   flags  is  set  to
       GNUTLS_HEARTBEAT_WAIT then it waits for a reply from the	peer.

       Note  that  it is highly	recommended to use this	function with the flag
       GNUTLS_HEARTBEAT_WAIT, or you need to handle retransmissions and	 time-
       outs manually.

       The total TLS data transmitted as part of the ping message are given by
       the   following	 formula:   MAX(16,   data_size	 )+gnutls_record_over-
       head_size()+3.

RETURNS
       GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS	on success, otherwise a	negative error code.

SINCE
       3.1.2
