NAME

       gnutls_fips140_set_mode - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       void gnutls_fips140_set_mode(gnutls_fips_mode_t mode, unsigned flags);

ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_fips_mode_t mode
                   the FIPS140-2 mode to switch to

       unsigned flags
                   should be zero or GNUTLS_FIPS140_SET_MODE_THREAD

DESCRIPTION

       That  function  is  not thread-safe when changing the mode with no flags (globally), and should be called
       prior to creating any threads. Its behavior with no flags after threads are created is undefined.

       When the flag GNUTLS_FIPS140_SET_MODE_THREAD is specified then this call will change the  FIPS140-2  mode
       for  this  particular  thread  and  not  for  the whole process. That way an application can utilize this
       function to set and reset mode for specific operations.

       This function never fails but will be a no-op if used when the library is not  in  FIPS140-2  mode.  When
       asked  to switch to unknown values for  mode or to GNUTLS_FIPS140_SELFTESTS mode, the library switches to
       GNUTLS_FIPS140_STRICT mode.
