gnutls_credentials_set(3)         gnutls        gnutls_credentials_set(3)
       gnutls_credentials_set - API function
       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
       int gnutls_credentials_set(gnutls_session_t session,
       gnutls_credentials_type_t type, void * cred);
       gnutls_session_t session
                   is a gnutls_session_t type.
       gnutls_credentials_type_t type
                   is the type of the credentials
       void * cred the credentials to set
       Sets the needed credentials for the specified type.  E.g.
       username, password - or public and private keys etc.  The  cred
       parameter is a structure that depends on the specified type and on
       the current session (client or server).
       In order to minimize memory usage, and share credentials between
       several threads gnutls keeps a pointer to cred, and not the whole
       cred structure.  Thus you will have to keep the structure
       allocated until you call gnutls_deinit().
       For GNUTLS_CRD_ANON,  cred should be
       gnutls_anon_client_credentials_t in case of a client.  In case of
       a server it should be gnutls_anon_server_credentials_t.
       For GNUTLS_CRD_SRP,  cred should be
       gnutls_srp_client_credentials_t in case of a client, and
       gnutls_srp_server_credentials_t, in case of a server.
       For GNUTLS_CRD_CERTIFICATE,  cred should be
       gnutls_certificate_credentials_t.
       On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative
       error code is returned.
