gnutls_prf(3)			     gnutls			   gnutls_prf(3)

NAME
     gnutls_prf - API function

SYNOPSIS
     #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

     int  gnutls_prf(gnutls_session_t  session,  size_t label_size, const char *
     label, int server_random_first, size_t  extra_size,  const  char  *  extra,
     size_t outsize, char * out);

ARGUMENTS
     gnutls_session_t session
		 is a gnutls_session_t type.

     size_t label_size
		 length of the	label variable.

     const char * label
		 label used in PRF computation, typically a short string.

     int server_random_first
		 non-zero if server random field should be first in seed

     size_t extra_size
		 length of the	extra variable.

     const char * extra
		 optional extra data to seed the PRF with.

     size_t outsize
		 size of pre-allocated output buffer to hold the output.

     char * out  pre-allocated buffer to hold the generated data.

DESCRIPTION
     Applies  the  TLS Pseudo-Random-Function (PRF) on the master secret and the
     provided data, seeded with the client and server random  fields.	For  the
     key expansion specified in RFC5705 see gnutls_prf_rfc5705().

     The   label variable usually contains a string denoting the purpose for the
     generated data.  The  server_random_first indicates whether the client ran-
     dom field or the server random field should be first in the seed.	Non-zero
     indicates that the server random field is first, 0 that the  client  random
     field is first.

     The   extra  variable  can  be used to add more data to the seed, after the
     random variables.	It can be used to make	sure  the  generated  output  is
     strongly connected to some additional data (e.g., a string used in user au-
     thentication).

     The output is placed in  out , which must be pre-allocated.

NOTE
     This  function  produces  identical  output  with gnutls_prf_rfc5705() when
     server_random_first is set to 0 and  extra is NULL. Under TLS1.3 this func-
     tion will only operate when these conditions are true, or otherwise  return
     GNUTLS_E_INVALID_REQUEST.

RETURNS
     GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS on success, or an error code.
