NAME
gnutls_fips140_set_mode - API function
SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
void gnutls_fips140_set_mode(gnutls_fips_mode_t mode, unsigned
flags);
ARGUMENTS
gnutls_fips_mode_t mode
the FIPS140-2 mode to switch to
unsigned flags
should be zero or GNUTLS_FIPS140_SET_MODE_THREAD
DESCRIPTION
That function is not thread-safe when changing the mode with no
flags (globally), and should be called prior to creating any
threads. Its behavior with no flags after threads are created is
undefined.
When the flag GNUTLS_FIPS140_SET_MODE_THREAD is specified then
this call will change the FIPS140-2 mode for this particular
thread and not for the whole process. That way an application can
utilize this function to set and reset mode for specific
operations.
This function never fails but will be a no-op if used when the
library is not in FIPS140-2 mode. When asked to switch to unknown
values for mode or to GNUTLS_FIPS140_SELFTESTS mode, the library
switches to GNUTLS_FIPS140_STRICT mode.
