💖 gnutls_record_set_max_recv_size(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the gnutls manual page for gnutls_record_set_max_recv_size — yes that's a whole mouthful, we're gonna get through it together 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

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

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

ssize_t gnutls_record_set_max_recv_size(gnutls_session_t session, size_t
size);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • gnutls_session_t session — it's a gnutls_session_t type, which is giving "the session, obviously" energy ✨
  • size_t size — the new size, that's it, that's the girl 🌸

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so what this function DOES: it sets the maximum amount of plaintext received in a record on this connection. literally that's the whole job, no cap 💖

and here's the tea — the limit is also negotiated through a TLS extension called 'record size limit'. so it's not just you deciding, it's a whole conversation 😭. but lowkey important caveat: while the 'record size limit' extension is preferred, not all TLS implementations use it or even understand it. so some servers are just out here not knowing what's being asked of them, and that's on them, not you 💀

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error code is returned. so if you get a negative number, that's your sign bestie, go check it 😤

🌈 SINCE 🌈

3.6.8 — vintage, but not like, vintage vintage 👑
