gnutls_priority_init2(3)	     gnutls		gnutls_priority_init2(3)

NAME
     gnutls_priority_init2 - API function

SYNOPSIS
     #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

     int  gnutls_priority_init2(gnutls_priority_t * priority_cache, const char *
     priorities, const char ** err_pos, unsigned flags);

ARGUMENTS
     gnutls_priority_t * priority_cache
		 is a gnutls_priority_t type.

     const char * priorities
		 is a string describing priorities (may be NULL)

     const char ** err_pos
		 In case of an error this will have the position in  the  string
		 the error occurred

     unsigned flags
		 zero or GNUTLS_PRIORITY_INIT_DEF_APPEND

DESCRIPTION
     Sets priorities for the ciphers, key exchange methods, and macs.  The  pri-
     ority_cache should be deinitialized using gnutls_priority_deinit().

     The  priorities  option allows you to specify a colon separated list of the
     cipher priorities to enable.  Some keywords are defined  to  provide  quick
     access to common preferences.

     When   flags is set to GNUTLS_PRIORITY_INIT_DEF_APPEND then the  priorities
     specified will be appended to the default options.

     Unless there is a special need, use the "NORMAL" keyword to apply a reason-
     able security level, or "NORMAL:%COMPAT" for compatibility.

     "PERFORMANCE" means all the "secure" ciphersuites are enabled,  limited  to
     128 bit ciphers and sorted by terms of speed performance.

     "LEGACY" the NORMAL settings for GnuTLS 3.2.x or earlier. There is no veri-
     fication profile set, and the allowed DH primes are considered weak today.

     "NORMAL"  means all "secure" ciphersuites. The 256-bit ciphers are included
     as a fallback only.  The ciphers are sorted by security margin.

     "PFS" means all "secure" ciphersuites that support perfect forward secrecy.
     The 256-bit ciphers are included as  a  fallback  only.   The  ciphers  are
     sorted by security margin.

     "SECURE128"  means  all  "secure" ciphersuites of security level 128-bit or
     more.

     "SECURE192" means all "secure" ciphersuites of security  level  192-bit  or
     more.

     "SUITEB128"  means  all  the NSA SuiteB ciphersuites with security level of
     128.

     "SUITEB192" means all the NSA SuiteB ciphersuites with  security  level  of
     192.

     "NONE"  means nothing is enabled.	This disables everything, including pro-
     tocols.

     "@KEYWORD1,KEYWORD2,..." The system administrator	imposed  settings.   The
     provided  keyword(s)  will  be  expanded from a configuration-time provided
     file - default is: /usr/local/etc/gnutls/config.  Any attributes that  fol-
     low  it,  will be appended to the expanded string. If multiple keywords are
     provided, separated by commas, then the first keyword that  exists  in  the
     configuration  file  will be used. At least one of the keywords must exist,
     or this function will return an error. Typical usage would be to specify an
     application specified keyword first, followed  by	"SYSTEM"  as  a  default
     fallback.	e.g.,  " LIBVIRT ,SYSTEM:!-VERS-SSL3.0" will first try to find a
     config file entry matching "LIBVIRT", but if that does not exist  will  use
     the entry for "SYSTEM". If "SYSTEM" does not exist either, an error will be
     returned.	In  all  cases, the SSL3.0 protocol will be disabled. The system
     priority file entries should be formatted as "KEYWORD=VALUE",  e.g.,  "SYS-
     TEM=NORMAL:+ARCFOUR-128".

     Special  keywords	are "!", "-" and "+".  "!" or "-" appended with an algo-
     rithm will remove this algorithm.	"+" appended with an algorithm will  add
     this algorithm.

     Check  the  GnuTLS  manual section "Priority strings" for detailed informa-
     tion.

EXAMPLES
     "NONE:+VERS-TLS-ALL:+MAC-ALL:+RSA:+AES-128-CBC:+SIGN-ALL:+COMP-NULL"

     "NORMAL:+ARCFOUR-128" means normal ciphers plus ARCFOUR-128.

     "SECURE128:-VERS-SSL3.0" means that only secure ciphers  are  and	enabled,
     SSL3.0 is disabled.

     "NONE:+VERS-TLS-ALL:+AES-128-CBC:+RSA:+SHA1:+COMP-NULL:+SIGN-RSA-SHA1",

     "NONE:+VERS-TLS-ALL:+AES-128-CBC:+ECDHE-RSA:+SHA1:+COMP-NULL:+SIGN-RSA-SHA1:+CURVE-SECP256R1",

     "SECURE256:+SECURE128",

     Note that "NORMAL:%COMPAT" is the most compatible mode.

     A NULL  priorities string indicates the default priorities to be used (this
     is available since GnuTLS 3.3.0).

RETURNS
     On  syntax  error GNUTLS_E_INVALID_REQUEST is returned, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS on
     success, or an error code.

SINCE
     3.6.3
