gnutls_range_split(3)

gnutls_range_split3

Api function

Usage

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

int gnutls_range_split(gnutls_session_t session, const gnutls_range_st * orig, gnutls_range_st * next, gnutls_range_st * remainder);

Arguments

gnutls_session_t session

is a gnutls_session_t type

const gnutls_range_st * orig

is the original range provided by the user

gnutls_range_st * next

is the returned range that can be conveyed in a TLS record

gnutls_range_st * remainder

is the returned remaining range

Overview

This function should be used when it is required to hide the length of very long data that cannot be directly provided to gnutls_record_send_range(). In that case this function should be called with the desired length hiding range in orig . The returned next value should then be used in the next call to gnutls_record_send_range() with the partial data. That process should be repeated until remainder is (0,0).

Returns

0 in case splitting succeeds, non zero in case of error. Note that orig is not changed, while the values of next and remainder are modified to store the resulting values.
