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_transport_set_pull_timeout_function - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       void gnutls_transport_set_pull_timeout_function(gnutls_session_t session, gnutls_pull_timeout_func func);

ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_session_t session
		   is a gnutls_session_t structure.

       gnutls_pull_timeout_func func
		   a callback function

DESCRIPTION

       This  is  the  function	where you set a function for gnutls to know whether data are ready to be received. It should wait for data a given
       time frame in milliseconds. The callback should return 0 on timeout, a positive number if data can be received, and -1  on  error.   You'll
       need to override this function if select() is not suitable for the provided transport calls.

       As with select(), if the timeout value is zero the callback should return zero if no data are immediately available.

	gnutls_pull_timeout_func is of the form, int (*gnutls_pull_timeout_func)(gnutls_transport_ptr_t, unsigned int ms);

SINCE

       3.0
