SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

void gnutls_certificate_set_verify_limits(gnutls_certificate_credentials_t res, unsigned int max_bits, unsigned int max_depth);

ARGUMENTS

gnutls_certificate_credentials_t res

unsigned int max_bits
    is the number of bits of an acceptable certificate (default 8200)

unsigned int max_depth
