gnutls_heartbeat_ping(3)           gnutls           gnutls_heartbeat_ping(3)

NAME         top

       gnutls_heartbeat_ping - API function

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
       int gnutls_heartbeat_ping(gnutls_session_t session, size_t data_size,
       unsigned int max_tries, unsigned int flags);

ARGUMENTS         top

       gnutls_session_t session
                   is a gnutls_session_t type.
       size_t data_size
                   is the length of the ping payload.
       unsigned int max_tries
                   if flags is GNUTLS_HEARTBEAT_WAIT then this sets the
                   number of retransmissions. Use zero for indefinite (until
                   timeout).
       unsigned int flags
                   if GNUTLS_HEARTBEAT_WAIT then wait for pong or timeout
                   instead of returning immediately.

DESCRIPTION         top

       This function sends a ping to the peer. If the  flags is set to
       GNUTLS_HEARTBEAT_WAIT then it waits for a reply from the peer.
       Note that it is highly recommended to use this function with the flag
       GNUTLS_HEARTBEAT_WAIT, or you need to handle retransmissions and
       timeouts manually.
       The total TLS data transmitted as part of the ping message are given
       by the following formula: MAX(16,  data_size
       )+gnutls_record_overhead_size()+3.

RETURNS         top

       GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS on success, otherwise a negative error code.

SINCE         top

       3.1.2
