If a cryptographic operation is ongoing in the current thread, e.g., **gnutls\_aead\_cipher\_init()** is called but **gnutls\_aead\_cipher\_deinit()** is not yet called, it returns an error **GNUTLS\_E\_INVALID\_REQUEST**. The operation state of *context* will be reset to **GNUTLS\_FIPS140\_OP\_INITIAL**. This function is no-op if FIPS140 is not compiled in nor enabled at run-time. ## RETURNS 0 upon success, a negative error code otherwise ## SINCE 3\.7.3 ## REPORTING BUGS Report bugs to \.\ Home page: https://www.gnutls.org ## COPYRIGHT Copyright © 2001-2023 Free Software Foundation, Inc., and others.\ Copying and distribution of this file, with or without modification, are permitted in any medium without royalty provided the copyright notice and this notice are preserved. ## SEE ALSO The full documentation for **gnutls** is maintained as a Texinfo manual.
