NAME

       gnutls_credentials_set - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       int gnutls_credentials_set(gnutls_session_t session, gnutls_credentials_type_t type, void * cred);

ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_session_t session
                   is a gnutls_session_t type.

       gnutls_credentials_type_t type
                   is the type of the credentials

       void * cred the credentials to set

DESCRIPTION

       Sets the needed credentials for the specified type.  E.g. username, password - or public and private keys
       etc.  The  cred parameter is a structure that depends on the specified type and on  the  current  session
       (client or server).

       In  order  to minimize memory usage, and share credentials between several threads gnutls keeps a pointer
       to cred, and not the whole cred structure.  Thus you will have to keep the structure allocated until  you
       call gnutls_deinit().

       For  GNUTLS_CRD_ANON,  cred should be gnutls_anon_client_credentials_t in case of a client.  In case of a
       server it should be gnutls_anon_server_credentials_t.

       For  GNUTLS_CRD_SRP,   cred  should  be  gnutls_srp_client_credentials_t  in  case  of  a   client,   and
       gnutls_srp_server_credentials_t, in case of a server.

       For GNUTLS_CRD_CERTIFICATE,  cred should be gnutls_certificate_credentials_t.

RETURNS

       On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error code is returned.
