gnutls_handshake_set_max_packet_length(3)
NAME
gnutls_handshake_set_max_packet_length - API function
SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
gnutls_handshake_set_max_packet_length(3) session,
size_t max);
ARGUMENTS
gnutls_session_t session
is a gnutls_session_t type.
size_t max is the maximum number.
DESCRIPTION
This function will set the maximum size of all handshake messages.
Handshakes over this size are rejected with GNUTLS_E_HAND-
SHAKE_TOO_LARGE error code. The default value is 128kb which is typi-
cally large enough. Set this to 0 if you do not want to set an upper
limit.
The reason for restricting the handshake message sizes are to limit
Denial of Service attacks.
Note that the maximum handshake size was increased to 128kb from 48kb
in GnuTLS 3.5.5.
