NAME

       gnutls_dh_params_generate2 - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       int gnutls_dh_params_generate2(gnutls_dh_params_t dparams, unsigned int bits);

ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_dh_params_t dparams
                   The parameters

       unsigned int bits
                   is the prime's number of bits

DESCRIPTION

       This function will generate a new pair of prime and generator for use in the Diffie-Hellman key exchange.
       The  new  parameters will be allocated using gnutls_malloc() and will be stored in the appropriate datum.
       This function is normally slow.

       Do not set the number of bits directly, use gnutls_sec_param_to_pk_bits() to get bits for  GNUTLS_PK_DSA.
       Also  note  that  the DH parameters are only useful to servers.  Since clients use the parameters sent by
       the server, it's of no use to call this in client side.

RETURNS

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