SYNOPSIS
       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       int	    gnutls_server_name_set(gnutls_session_t	      session,
       gnutls_server_name_type_t type, const void * name, size_t name_length);

ARGUMENTS

		   is a gnutls_session_t structure.

       gnutls_server_name_type_t type

DESCRIPTION
       This function is to be used by clients that want to inform (via	a  TLS
       extension  mechanism)  the  server of the name they connected to.  This
       should be used by clients that connect to servers that do virtual host-
       ing.

       The  value of name depends on the ind type. In case of GNUTLS_NAME_DNS,
       an ASCII or UTF-8 null terminated string, without the trailing dot,  is
       expected.  IPv4 or IPv6 addresses are not permitted.

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