gnutls_dh_set_prime_bits(3)					      gnutls					       gnutls_dh_set_prime_bits(3)

NAME

       gnutls_dh_set_prime_bits - Used to set the bits for a DH ciphersuite

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       void gnutls_dh_set_prime_bits(gnutls_session_t session, unsigned int bits);

ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_session_t session
		   is a gnutls_session_t structure.

       unsigned int bits
		   is the number of bits

DESCRIPTION

       This  function  sets  the  number  of  bits, for use in an Diffie-Hellman key exchange.	This is used both in DH ephemeral and DH anonymous
       cipher suites.  This will set the minimum size of the prime that will be used for the handshake.

       In the client side it sets the minimum accepted number of bits.	If a server sends a prime with less bits than that GNUTLS_E_DH_PRIME_UNAC-
       CEPTABLE will be returned by the handshake.

       This function has no effect in server side.

NAME

       gnutls_dh_get_secret_bits - return the bits used in DH authentication

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       int gnutls_dh_get_secret_bits(gnutls_session_t session);

ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_session_t session
		   is a gnutls session

DESCRIPTION

       This  function  will  return  the bits used in the last Diffie-Hellman authentication with the peer.  Should be used for both anonymous and
       ephemeral Diffie-Hellman.

RETURNS

       On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise an error code is returned.
