NAME

       gnutls_dh_set_prime_bits - Used to set the bits for a DH ciphersuite

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       void  gnutls_dh_set_prime_bits(gnutls_session_t  session,  unsigned int
       bits);

ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_session_t session
                   is a gnutls_session_t structure.

       unsigned int bits
                   is the number of bits

DESCRIPTION

       This function sets the number of bits, for use in an Diffie-Hellman key
       exchange.   This  is  used both in DH ephemeral and DH anonymous cipher
       suites.  This will set the minimum size of the prime that will be  used
       for the handshake.

       In  the  client side it sets the minimum accepted number of bits.  If a
       server    sends    a    prime    with    less    bits     than     that
       GNUTLS_E_DH_PRIME_UNACCEPTABLE will be returned by the handshake.

       This function has no effect in server side.
