gnutls_record_send(3)              gnutls              gnutls_record_send(3)

NAME         top

       gnutls_record_send - API function

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
       ssize_t gnutls_record_send(gnutls_session_t session, const void *
       data, size_t data_size);

ARGUMENTS         top

       gnutls_session_t session
                   is a gnutls_session_t type.
       const void * data
                   contains the data to send
       size_t data_size
                   is the length of the data

DESCRIPTION         top

       This function has the similar semantics with send().  The only
       difference is that it accepts a GnuTLS session, and uses different
       error codes.  Note that if the send buffer is full, send() will block
       this function.  See the send() documentation for more information.
       You can replace the default push function which is send(), by using
       gnutls_transport_set_push_function().
       If the EINTR is returned by the internal push function then
       GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED will be returned. If GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED or
       GNUTLS_E_AGAIN is returned, you must call this function again, with
       the exact same parameters; alternatively you could provide a NULL
       pointer for data, and 0 for size. cf. gnutls_record_get_direction().
       Note that in DTLS this function will return the GNUTLS_E_LARGE_PACKET
       error code if the send data exceed the data MTU value - as returned
       by gnutls_dtls_get_data_mtu(). The errno value EMSGSIZE also maps to
       GNUTLS_E_LARGE_PACKET.  Note that since 3.2.13 this function can be
       called under cork in DTLS mode, and will refuse to send data over the
       MTU size by returning GNUTLS_E_LARGE_PACKET.

RETURNS         top

       The number of bytes sent, or a negative error code.  The number of
       bytes sent might be less than  data_size .  The maximum number of
       bytes this function can send in a single call depends on the
       negotiated maximum record size.
