NAME         top

       gnutls_cipher_encrypt3 - API function

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <gnutls/crypto.h>

       int gnutls_cipher_encrypt3(gnutls_cipher_hd_t handle, const void
       * ptext, size_t ptext_len, void * ctext, size_t * ctext_len,
       unsigned flags);

ARGUMENTS         top

       gnutls_cipher_hd_t handle
                   is a gnutls_cipher_hd_t type

       const void * ptext
                   the data to encrypt

       size_t ptext_len
                   the length of data to encrypt

       void * ctext
                   the encrypted data

       size_t * ctext_len
                   the length of encrypted data (initially must hold the
                   maximum available size)

       unsigned flags
                   flags for padding

DESCRIPTION         top

       This function will encrypt the given data using the algorithm
       specified by the context. For block ciphers,  ptext_len is
       typically a multiple of the block size. If not, the caller can
       instruct the function to pad the last block according to  flags .
       Currently, the only available padding scheme is
       GNUTLS_CIPHER_PADDING_PKCS7.

       If  ctext is not NULL, it must hold enough space to store
       resulting cipher text. To check the required size, this function
       can be called with  ctext set to NULL. Then  ctext_len will be
       updated without performing actual encryption.

RETURNS         top

       Zero or a negative error code on error.
