The \fIseed\fP usually contains data such as the +client and server random, perhaps together with some additional +data that is added to guarantee uniqueness of the output for a +particular purpose. + +Because the output is not guaranteed to be unique for a particular +session unless \fIseed\fP includes the client random and server random +fields (the PRF would output the same data on another connection +resumed from the first one), it is not recommended to use this +function directly. The \fBgnutls_prf()\fP function seeds the PRF with the +client and server random fields directly, and is recommended if you +want to generate pseudo random data unique for each session. +.SH "NOTE" +This function will only operate under TLS versions prior to 1.3. +In TLS1.3 the use of PRF is replaced with HKDF and the generic +exporters like \fBgnutls_prf_rfc5705()\fP should be used instead. Under +TLS1.3 this function returns \fBGNUTLS_E_INVALID_REQUEST\fP. +.SH "RETURNS" +\fBGNUTLS_E_SUCCESS\fP on success, or an error code. +.SH "REPORTING BUGS" +Report bugs to <bugs@gnutls.org>. +.br +Home page: https://www.gnutls.org + +.SH COPYRIGHT +Copyright \(co 2001- Free Software Foundation, Inc., and others. +.br +Copying and distribution of this file, with or without modification, +are permitted in any medium without royalty provided the copyright +notice and this notice are preserved. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +The full documentation for +.B gnutls +is maintained as a Texinfo manual. +If the /usr/share/doc/gnutls/ +directory does not contain the HTML form visit +.B +.IP https://www.gnutls.org/manual/ +.PP |
