NAME
       gnutls_credentials_set  - Sets the needed credentials for the specified
       authentication algorithm.

SYNOPSIS
       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       int  gnutls_credentials_set(gnutls_session_t  session,	gnutls_creden-
       tials_type_t type, void * cred);

ARGUMENTS
       gnutls_session_t session

		   is a gnutls_session_t structure.

       gnutls_credentials_type_t type

		   is the type of the credentials

       void * cred is a pointer to a structure.

DESCRIPTION
       Sets the needed credentials for the specified type.  Eg username, pass-
       word - or public and private keys etc.  The cred parameter is a	struc-
       ture  that  depends  on	the  specified type and on the current session
       (client or server).

       In order to minimize memory usage, and share credentials  between  sev-
       eral  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_creden-
       tials_t.

RETURNS
       On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (zero) is  returned,  otherwise  an  error
       code is returned.
