NAME

gnutls_session_get_id - Returns session id.

SYNOPSIS

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

int gnutls_session_get_id(gnutls_session_t session, void * session_id, size_t * session_id_size);

ARGUMENTS

gnutls_session_t session: is a gnutls_session_t structure.
void * session_id: is a pointer to space to hold the session id.
size_t * session_id_size: is the session id's size, or it will be set by the function.

DESCRIPTION

Returns the current session id. This can be used if you want to check if the next session you tried to resume was actually resumed. This is because resumed sessions have the same sessionID with the original session.

Session id is some data set by the server, that identify the current session. In TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0 session id is always less than 32 bytes.

RETURNS

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