NAME         top

       gnutls_cipher_decrypt3 - API function

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <gnutls/crypto.h>

       int gnutls_cipher_decrypt3(gnutls_cipher_hd_t handle, const void
       * ctext, size_t ctext_len, void * ptext, size_t * ptext_len,
       unsigned flags);

ARGUMENTS         top

       gnutls_cipher_hd_t handle
                   is a gnutls_cipher_hd_t type

       const void * ctext
                   the data to decrypt

       size_t ctext_len
                   the length of data to decrypt

       void * ptext
                   the decrypted data

       size_t * ptext_len
                   the available length for decrypted data

       unsigned flags
                   flags for padding

DESCRIPTION         top

       This function will decrypt the given data using the algorithm
       specified by the context. If  flags is specified, padding for the
       decrypted data will be removed accordingly and  ptext_len will be
       updated.

RETURNS         top

       Zero or a negative error code on error.
