NAME

       gnutls_session_ext_register - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       int    gnutls_session_ext_register(gnutls_session_t    session,    const   char   *   name,   int   type,
       gnutls_ext_parse_type_t  parse_type,  gnutls_ext_recv_func  recv_func,  gnutls_ext_send_func   send_func,
       gnutls_ext_deinit_data_func    deinit_func,    gnutls_ext_pack_func   pack_func,   gnutls_ext_unpack_func
       unpack_func, unsigned flags);

ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_session_t session
                   the session for which this extension will be set

       const char * name
                   the name of the extension to register

       int type    the numeric id of the extension

       gnutls_ext_parse_type_t parse_type
                   the parse type of the extension (see gnutls_ext_parse_type_t)

       gnutls_ext_recv_func recv_func
                   a function to receive the data

       gnutls_ext_send_func send_func
                   a function to send the data

       gnutls_ext_deinit_data_func deinit_func
                   a function deinitialize any private data

       gnutls_ext_pack_func pack_func
                   a function which serializes the  extension's  private  data  (used  on  session  packing  for
                   resumption)

       gnutls_ext_unpack_func unpack_func
                   a function which will deserialize the extension's private data

       unsigned flags
                   must be zero or flags from gnutls_ext_flags_t

DESCRIPTION

       This function will register a new extension type. The extension will be only usable within the registered
       session.  If  the extension type is already registered then GNUTLS_E_ALREADY_REGISTERED will be returned,
       unless the flag GNUTLS_EXT_FLAG_OVERRIDE_INTERNAL is specified. The latter flag  when  specified  can  be
       used  to  override  certain extensions introduced after 3.5.12. It is expected to be used by applications
       which handle custom extensions that are not currently supported in GnuTLS, but direct  support  for  them
       may be added in the future.

       Each   registered   extension  can  store  temporary  data  into  the  gnutls_session_t  structure  using
       gnutls_ext_set_data(), and they can be retrieved using gnutls_ext_get_data().

RETURNS

       GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS on success, otherwise a negative error code.

SINCE

       3.5.5
