API function

## NAME

gnutls\_ext\_get\_current\_msg - API function

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<gnutls/gnutls.h\>**

**unsigned gnutls\_ext\_get\_current\_msg(gnutls\_session\_t** *session***);**

## ARGUMENTS

- gnutls\_session\_t session

## DESCRIPTION

This function allows an extension handler to obtain the message this extension is being called from. The returned value is a single entry of the **gnutls\_ext\_flags\_t** enumeration. That is, if an extension was registered with the **GNUTLS\_EXT\_FLAG\_HRR** and **GNUTLS\_EXT\_FLAG\_EE** flags, the value when called during parsing of the encrypted extensions message will be **GNUTLS\_EXT\_FLAG\_EE**.

If not called under an extension handler, its value is undefined.
