🌸 gnutls_record_set_max_early_data_size ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the gnutls manual, and today's main character is gnutls_record_set_max_early_data_size — an API function, no cap 💅

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

gnutls_record_set_max_early_data_size — literally just an API function, that's the whole name, periodt.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

int gnutls_record_set_max_early_data_size(gnutls_session_t session,
size_t size);

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• gnutls_session_t session — bestie, this is a gnutls_session_t type. that's the vibe. it's the session, it's giving session energy 🦋
• size_t size — this is the new size. the new one. the fresh one. slay.

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the way this works: this function sets the maximum early data size in this connection. 🌈

not me dropping a plot twist though — this property can only be set to servers. servers only, iykyk. the client doesn't get to set it directly; instead the client may be provided with the maximum allowed size through the "early_data" extension of the NewSessionTicket handshake message. so the server's the one handing out the info, and the client just receives it like a little gift 🎁✨

---

💀 RETURNS 💀

on success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned. otherwise? a negative error code comes back at you 😭 that's the whole mood. 0 = we ate. negative = we did not eat.
