NAME

       gnutls_init  - initialize the session to null (null encryption etc...).

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       int  gnutls_init(gnutls_session_t  *  session,  gnutls_connection_end_t
       con_end);

ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_session_t * session
                   is a pointer to a gnutls_session_t structure.

       gnutls_connection_end_t con_end
                   indicate  if  this  session  is  to  be  used for server or
                   client.

DESCRIPTION

       This function initializes the current session to  null.  Every  session
       must   be  initialized  before  use,  so  internal  structures  can  be
       allocated.  This function allocates structures which can only be free’d
       by calling gnutls_deinit().  Returns zero on success.

       con_end can be one of GNUTLS_CLIENT and GNUTLS_SERVER.

RETURNS

       GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS on success, or an error code.
