gnutls_global_set_mem_functions(3) [suse man page]

gnutls_global_set_mem_functions(3)				      gnutls					gnutls_global_set_mem_functions(3)

NAME

       gnutls_global_set_mem_functions - set the memory allocation functions

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       void  gnutls_global_set_mem_functions(gnutls_alloc_function  alloc_func, gnutls_alloc_function secure_alloc_func, gnutls_is_secure_function
       is_secure_func, gnutls_realloc_function realloc_func, gnutls_free_function free_func);

ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_alloc_function alloc_func
		   it's the default memory allocation function. Like malloc().

       gnutls_alloc_function secure_alloc_func
		   This is the memory allocation function that will be used for sensitive data.

       gnutls_is_secure_function is_secure_func
		   a function that returns 0 if the memory given is not secure. May be NULL.

       gnutls_realloc_function realloc_func
		   A realloc function

       gnutls_free_function free_func
		   The function that frees allocated data. Must accept a NULL pointer.

DESCRIPTION

       This is the function were you set the memory allocation functions gnutls is going to use. By default the libc's allocation functions  (mal-
       loc(), free()), are used by gnutls, to allocate both sensitive and not sensitive data.  This function is provided to set the memory alloca-
       tion functions to something other than the defaults (ie the gcrypt allocation functions).

       This function must be called before gnutls_global_init() is called.  This function is not thread safe.

NAME

       gnutls_crypto_single_digest_register2 - register a digest algorithm

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       int  gnutls_crypto_single_digest_register2(gnutls_digest_algorithm_t algorithm, int priority, int version, gnutls_crypto_single_digest_st *
       s);

ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_digest_algorithm_t algorithm
		   is the gnutls algorithm identifier

       int priority
		   is the priority of the algorithm

       int version should be set to GNUTLS_CRYPTO_API_VERSION

       gnutls_crypto_single_digest_st * s
		   is a structure holding new algorithms's data

DESCRIPTION

       This function will register a digest (hash) algorithm to be used by gnutls.  Any algorithm registered will override the included algorithms
       and by convention kernel implemented algorithms have priority of 90.  The algorithm with the lowest priority will be used by gnutls.

       This function should be called before gnutls_global_init().

       For simplicity you can use the convenience gnutls_crypto_single_digest_register() macro.

RETURNS

       GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS on success, otherwise an error.

SINCE

       2.6.0
