SYNOPSIS

gnutls_record_set_max_size(3) session, size_t
size);

size_t size is the new size
DESCRIPTION
This function sets the maximum amount of plaintext sent and received in
a record in this connection.
Prior to 3.6.4, this function was implemented using a TLS extension
called 'max fragment length', which limits the acceptable values to
512(=2^9), 1024(=2^10), 2048(=2^11) and 4096(=2^12).
Since 3.6.4, the limit is also negotiated through a new TLS extension
called 'record size limit', which doesn't have the limitation, as long
as the value ranges between 512 and 16384. Note that while the 'record
size limit' extension is preferred, not all TLS implementations use or
even understand the extension.
DEPRECATED
if the client can assume that the 'record size limit' extension is sup-
ported by the server, we recommend using
gnutls_record_set_max_recv_size() instead.
RETURNS
On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative
error code is returned.
