🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• gnutls_session_t session — bestie this is literally just a gnutls_session_t type. that's the whole vibe. it's your session, hand it over 🫶

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so like, this function returns the maximum early data size in this connection. that's it, that's the tea ☕

BUT here's the important part, don't skip it: this property can only be set to servers. the client?? the client doesn't get to set it directly — it gets handed the maximum allowed size through the "early_data" extension of the NewSessionTicket handshake message. so the server's the one holding the keys to this particular kingdom 👑

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

the maximum early data size in this connection. that's the whole return value. slay ✨
