NAME
gnutls_ext_register - API function

SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

int gnutls_ext_register(const char * name, int type, gnutls_ext_parse_type_t parse_type, gnutls_ext_recv_func recv_func, gnutls_ext_send_func send_func, gnutls_ext_deinit_data_func deinit_func, gnutls_ext_pack_func pack_func, gnutls_ext_unpack_func unpack_func);

ARGUMENTS

const char * name
    the name of the extension to register

int type
    the numeric id of the extension

gnutls_ext_parse_type_t parse_type
    the parse type of the extension (see gnutls_ext_parse_type_t)

gnutls_ext_recv_func recv_func
    a function to receive the data

gnutls_ext_send_func send_func
    a function to send the data

gnutls_ext_deinit_data_func deinit_func
    a function deinitialize any private data

gnutls_ext_pack_func pack_func
    a function which serializes the extension's private data (used on session packing for resumption)

gnutls_ext_unpack_func unpack_func
    a function which will deserialize the extension's private data

DESCRIPTION
This function will register a new extension type. The extension will remain registered until gnutls_global_deinit() is called. If the extension type is already registered then GNUTLS_E_ALREADY_REGISTERED will be returned.

Each registered extension can store temporary data into the gnutls_session_t structure using gnutls_ext_set_data(), and they can be retrieved using gnutls_ext_get_data().

This function is not thread safe.

RETURNS
GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS on success, otherwise a negative error code.

SINCE
3.4.0
