NAME
gnutls_handshake_set_max_packet_length - API function
SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
void gnutls_handshake_set_max_packet_length(gnutls_session_t
session, size_t max);
ARGUMENTS
gnutls_session_t session
is a gnutls_session_t type.
size_t max is the maximum number.
DESCRIPTION
This function will set the maximum size of all handshake
messages. Handshakes over this size are rejected with
GNUTLS_E_HANDSHAKE_TOO_LARGE error code. The default value is
128kb which is typically large enough. Set this to 0 if you do
not want to set an upper limit.
The reason for restricting the handshake message sizes are to
limit Denial of Service attacks.
Note that the maximum handshake size was increased to 128kb from
48kb in GnuTLS 3.5.5.
