NAME         top

       gnutls_record_can_use_length_hiding - API function

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       unsigned gnutls_record_can_use_length_hiding(gnutls_session_t
       session);

ARGUMENTS         top

       gnutls_session_t session
                   is a gnutls_session_t type.

DESCRIPTION         top

       If the session supports length-hiding padding, you can invoke
       gnutls_record_send_range() to send a message whose length is
       hidden in the given range. If the session does not support length
       hiding padding, you can use the standard gnutls_record_send()
       function, or gnutls_record_send_range() making sure that the range
       is the same as the length of the message you are trying to send.

RETURNS         top

       true (1) if the current session supports length-hiding padding,
       false (0) if the current session does not.
