NAME

       gnutls_record_send - sends to the peer the specified data

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       ssize_t gnutls_record_send(gnutls_session_t session, const void * data,
       size_t sizeofdata);

ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_session_t session
                   is a gnutls_session_t structure.

       const void * data
                   contains the data to send

       size_t sizeofdata
                   is the length of the data

DESCRIPTION

       This  function  has  the  similar  semantics  with  send().   The  only
       difference  is  that  it  accepts  a GnuTLS session, and uses different
       error codes.

       Note that if the send buffer is full, send() will block this  function.
       See the send() documentation for full information.  You can replace the
       default push function by using gnutls_transport_set_ptr2() with a  call
       to send() with a MSG_DONTWAIT flag if blocking is a problem.

       If  the EINTR is returned by the internal push function (the default is
       send()}   then    GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED    will    be    returned.    If
       GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED  or GNUTLS_E_AGAIN is returned, you must call this
       function again, with  the  same  parameters;  alternatively  you  could
       provide   a   NULL   pointer   for   data,   and   0   for   size.  cf.
       gnutls_record_get_direction().

RETURNS

       the number of bytes sent, or a negative  error  code.   The  number  of
       bytes  sent might be less than sizeofdata.  The maximum number of bytes
       this function can send in a  single  call  depends  on  the  negotiated
       maximum record size.
