       gnutls_aead_cipher_init - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/crypto.h>

       int  gnutls_aead_cipher_init(gnutls_aead_cipher_hd_t  *  handle, gnutls_cipher_algorithm_t
       cipher, const gnutls_datum_t * key);

ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_aead_cipher_hd_t * handle
                   is a gnutls_aead_cipher_hd_t type.

                   the authenticated-encryption algorithm to use

       const gnutls_datum_t * key
                   The key to be used for encryption

DESCRIPTION

       This function will initialize an context that can be  used  for  encryption/decryption  of
