gnutls_rehandshake(3)              gnutls              gnutls_rehandshake(3)

NAME top

       gnutls_rehandshake - API function

SYNOPSIS top

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       int gnutls_rehandshake(gnutls_session_t session);

ARGUMENTS top

       gnutls_session_t session
                   is a gnutls_session_t type.

DESCRIPTION top

       This function can only be called in server side, and instructs a TLS
       1.2 or earlier client to renegotiate parameters (perform a
       handshake), by sending a hello request message.

       If this function succeeds, the calling application should call
       gnutls_record_recv() until GNUTLS_E_REHANDSHAKE is returned to clear
       any pending data. If the GNUTLS_E_REHANDSHAKE error code is not seen,
       then the handshake request was not followed by the peer (the TLS
       protocol does not require the client to do, and such compliance
       should be handled by the application protocol).

       Once the GNUTLS_E_REHANDSHAKE error code is seen, the calling
       application should proceed to calling gnutls_handshake() to negotiate
       the new parameters.

       If the client does not wish to renegotiate parameters he may reply
       with an alert message, and in that case the return code seen by
       subsequent gnutls_record_recv() will be
       GNUTLS_E_WARNING_ALERT_RECEIVED with the specific alert being
       GNUTLS_A_NO_RENEGOTIATION.  A client may also choose to ignore this
       request.

       Under TLS 1.3 this function is equivalent to
       gnutls_session_key_update() with the GNUTLS_KU_PEER flag. In that
       case subsequent calls to gnutls_record_recv() will not return
       GNUTLS_E_REHANDSHAKE, and calls to gnutls_handshake() in server side
       are a no-op.

       This function always fails with GNUTLS_E_INVALID_REQUEST when called
       in client side.

RETURNS top

       GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS on success, otherwise a negative error code.
