NAME         top

       gnutls_session_get_id - API function

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       int gnutls_session_get_id(gnutls_session_t session, void *
       session_id, size_t * session_id_size);

ARGUMENTS         top

       gnutls_session_t session
                   is a gnutls_session_t type.

       void * session_id
                   is a pointer to space to hold the session id.

       size_t * session_id_size
                   initially should contain the maximum  session_id size
                   and will be updated.

DESCRIPTION         top

       Returns the TLS session identifier. The session ID is selected by
       the server, and in older versions of TLS was a unique identifier
       shared between client and server which was persistent across
       resumption.  In the latest version of TLS (1.3) or TLS with
       session tickets, the notion of session identifiers is undefined
       and cannot be relied for uniquely identifying sessions across
       client and server.

       In client side this function returns the identifier returned by
       the server, and cannot be assumed to have any relation to session
       resumption.  In server side this function is guaranteed to return
       a persistent identifier of the session since GnuTLS 3.6.4, which
       may not necessarily map into the TLS session ID value. Prior to
       that version the value could only be considered a persistent
       identifier, under TLS1.2 or earlier and when no session tickets
       were in use.

       The session identifier value returned is always less than
       GNUTLS_MAX_SESSION_ID_SIZE.

RETURNS         top

       On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise an error
       code is returned.
