NAME
gnutls_heartbeat_ping - API function
SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
int gnutls_heartbeat_ping(gnutls_session_t session, size_t
data_size, unsigned int max_tries, unsigned int flags);
ARGUMENTS
gnutls_session_t session
is a gnutls_session_t type.
size_t data_size
is the length of the ping payload.
unsigned int max_tries
if flags is GNUTLS_HEARTBEAT_WAIT then this sets the
number of retransmissions. Use zero for indefinite
(until timeout).
unsigned int flags
if GNUTLS_HEARTBEAT_WAIT then wait for pong or
timeout instead of returning immediately.
DESCRIPTION
This function sends a ping to the peer. If the flags is set to
GNUTLS_HEARTBEAT_WAIT then it waits for a reply from the peer.
Note that it is highly recommended to use this function with the
flag GNUTLS_HEARTBEAT_WAIT, or you need to handle retransmissions
and timeouts manually.
The total TLS data transmitted as part of the ping message are
given by the following formula: MAX(16, data_size
)+gnutls_record_overhead_size()+3.
RETURNS
GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS on success, otherwise a negative error code.
SINCE
3.1.2
