NAME
       gnutls_dtls_cookie_send - API function

SYNOPSIS
       #include <gnutls/dtls.h>

       int  gnutls_dtls_cookie_send(gnutls_datum_t  * key, void * client_data,
       size_t	client_data_size,    gnutls_dtls_prestate_st	*    prestate,
       gnutls_transport_ptr_t ptr, gnutls_push_func push_func);

ARGUMENTS
       gnutls_datum_t * key
		   is a random key to be used at cookie generation

       void * client_data
		   contains data identifying the client (i.e. address)

       size_t client_data_size
		   The size of client's data

       gnutls_dtls_prestate_st * prestate
		   The previous cookie returned by gnutls_dtls_cookie_verify()

       gnutls_transport_ptr_t ptr
		   A transport pointer to be used by  push_func

       gnutls_push_func push_func
		   A function that will be used to reply

DESCRIPTION
       This  function  can  be	used to prevent denial of service attacks to a
       DTLS server by requiring the client to reply using  a  cookie  sent  by
       this  function.	That  way it can be ensured that a client we allocated
       resources for (i.e. gnutls_session_t) is	 the  one  that	 the  original
       incoming packet was originated from.

       This  function  must  be	 called at the first incoming packet, prior to
       allocating    any    resources	 and	must	be    succeeded	    by
       gnutls_dtls_cookie_verify().

RETURNS
       the number of bytes sent, or a negative error code.

SINCE
       3.0
