NAME

       gnutls_handshake_set_private_extensions  -  Used  to enable the private
       cipher suites

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       void gnutls_handshake_set_private_extensions(gnutls_session_t  session,
       int allow);

ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_session_t session
                   is a gnutls_session_t structure.

       int allow   is an integer (0 or 1)

DESCRIPTION

       This  function  will enable or disable the use of private cipher suites
       (the ones that start with 0xFF).  By default or  if  allow  is  0  then
       these cipher suites will not be advertized nor used.

       Unless  this  function  is called with the option to allow (1), then no
       compression algorithms, like LZO.  That is because these algorithms are
       not yet defined in any RFC or even internet draft.

       Enabling  the  private  ciphersuites  when talking to other than gnutls
       servers and clients may cause interoperability problems.
