💖 gnutls_record_overhead_size(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in the gnutls manual, and it's literally just an API function. no drama, no chaos, just a lil helper that tells you stuff. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_record_overhead_size — it's an API function, that's the whole vibe 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

size_t gnutls_record_overhead_size(gnutls_session_t session);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • gnutls_session_t session — bestie, it is literally a gnutls_session_t. that's it. that's the argument. iconic of it honestly 🌈

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what this function does is return the size, in bytes, of the overhead that TLS (or DTLS, if that's your moment) adds per record. like, how much extra weight is the protocol putting on every single record, bestie.

and here's the tea ☕ — on certain occasions (think CBC ciphers, iykyk) the value it hands back is the maximum possible overhead, not necessarily the exact one you'll see. so don't be shocked if it's giving "worst case" energy. no cap.

⭐ SINCE ⭐

3.2.2 — she's been around for a minute, and she ate. 👑
