SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
void gnutls_certificate_set_verify_limits(gnutls_certificate_credentials_t res, unsigned int max_bits, unsigned int max_depth);
ARGUMENTS
gnutls_certificate_credentials_t res
is a gnutls_certificate_credentials structure
unsigned int max_bits
is the number of bits of an acceptable certificate (default 8200)
unsigned int max_depth
is maximum depth of the verification of a certificate chain (default 5)
