Name

gnutls_error_is_fatal — Returns non-zero in case of a fatal error

Synopsis

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
int gnutls_error_is_fatal( int   error);

ARGUMENTS

int error

is an error returned by a gnutls function. Error should be a negative value.

DESCRIPTION

If a function returns a negative value you may feed that value to this function to see if it is fatal. Returns 1 for a fatal error 0 otherwise. However you may want to check the error code manually, since some non−fatal errors to the protocol may be fatal for you (your program).

This is only useful if you are dealing with errors from the record layer or the handshake layer.

For positive error values, 0 is returned.
