gnutls_fips140_set_mode(3) gnutls gnutls_fips140_set_mode(3)
NAME
gnutls_fips140_set_mode - API function
SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
gnutls_fips140_set_mode(3) mode, unsigned flags);
ARGUMENTS
gnutls_fips_mode_t mode
the FIPS140-2 mode to switch to
unsigned flags
should be zero or GNUTLS_FIPS140_SET_MODE_THREAD
DESCRIPTION
That function is not thread-safe when changing the mode with no flags
(globally), and should be called prior to creating any threads. Its
behavior with no flags after threads are created is undefined.
When the flag GNUTLS_FIPS140_SET_MODE_THREAD is specified then this
call will change the FIPS140-2 mode for this particular thread and not
for the whole process. That way an application can utilize this func-
tion to set and reset mode for specific operations.
This function never fails but will be a no-op if used when the library
is not in FIPS140-2 mode. When asked to switch to unknown values for
mode or to GNUTLS_FIPS140_SELFTESTS mode, the library switches to
GNUTLS_FIPS140_STRICT mode.
SINCE
3.6.2
