NAME
       gnutls_handshake_set_max_packet_length - API function

SYNOPSIS
       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       void gnutls_handshake_set_max_packet_length(gnutls_session_t session, size_t max);

ARGUMENTS
       gnutls_session_t session
		   is a gnutls_session_t structure.

       size_t max  is the maximum number.

DESCRIPTION
       This  function  will  set  the  maximum	size  of  all  handshake  messages.   Handshakes  over	this size are rejected with GNUTLS_E_HAND-
       SHAKE_TOO_LARGE error code.  The default value is 48kb which is typically large enough.	Set this to 0 if you do not want to set  an  upper
       limit.

       The reason for restricting the handshake message sizes are to limit Denial of Service attacks.
