NAME

       gnutls_rehandshake - renegotiate security parameters

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       int gnutls_rehandshake(gnutls_session_t session);

ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_session_t session
                   is a gnutls_session_t structure.

DESCRIPTION

       This  function  will  renegotiate  security parameters with the client.
       This should only be called in case of a server.

       This message informs the peer that we want  to  renegotiate  parameters
       (perform a handshake).

       If   this   function   succeeds   (returns   0),   you  must  call  the
       gnutls_handshake() function in order to negotiate the new parameters.

       If the client does not wish to renegotiate parameters  he  will  should
       with    an    alert   message,   thus   the   return   code   will   be
       GNUTLS_E_WARNING_ALERT_RECEIVED    and    the     alert     will     be
       GNUTLS_A_NO_RENEGOTIATION.   A  client  may  also choose to ignore this
       message.

RETURNS

       GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS on success, otherwise an error.
