11 is a \fBgnutls_session_t\fP structure.
13 is the maximum number.
15 This function will set the maximum size of all handshake messages.
16 Handshakes over this size are rejected with
17 \fBGNUTLS_E_HANDSHAKE_TOO_LARGE\fP error code. The default value is
18 48kb which is typically large enough. Set this to 0 if you do not
19 want to set an upper limit.
21 The reason for restricting the handshake message sizes are to
22 limit Denial of Service attacks.
