NAME
       gnutls_credentials_set - Sets the needed credentials for the specified authentication algorithm.

SYNOPSIS
       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       int gnutls_credentials_set(gnutls_session_t session, gnutls_credentials_type_t type, void * cred);

ARGUMENTS
       gnutls_session_t session
		   is a gnutls_session_t structure.

       gnutls_credentials_type_t type
		   is the type of the credentials

       void * cred is a pointer to a structure.

DESCRIPTION
       Sets  the  needed  credentials  for  the  specified type.  Eg username, password - or public and private keys etc.  The cred parameter is a
       structure that depends on the specified type and on the current session (client or server).

       In order to minimize memory usage, and share credentials between several threads gnutls keeps a pointer to cred, and  not  the  whole  cred
       structure.  Thus you will have to keep the structure allocated until you call gnutls_deinit().

       For  GNUTLS_CRD_ANON,  cred  should  be	gnutls_anon_client_credentials_t  in  case  of	a  client.   In  case  of  a  server  it should be
       gnutls_anon_server_credentials_t.

       For GNUTLS_CRD_SRP, cred should be gnutls_srp_client_credentials_t in case of a client, and gnutls_srp_server_credentials_t, in case  of  a
       server.

       For GNUTLS_CRD_CERTIFICATE, cred should be gnutls_certificate_credentials_t.

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