<h3 class="section">3.2 Procedure Names</h3>
<p>Unlike C functions in GnuTLS, the corresponding Scheme procedures are
named in a way that is close to natural English. Abbreviations are
also avoided. For instance, the Scheme procedure corresponding to
<code>gnutls_certificate_set_dh_params</code> is named
<code>set-certificate-credentials-dh-parameters!</code>. The <code>gnutls_</code>
prefix is always omitted from variable names since a similar effect
can be achieved using Guile’s nifty binding renaming facilities,
should it be needed (see <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Using-Guile-Modules.html#Using-Guile-Modules">Using Guile Modules</a> in <cite>The GNU
Guile Reference Manual</cite>).
</p>
<p>Often Scheme procedure names differ from C function names in a way
that makes it clearer what objects they operate on. For example, the
Scheme procedure named <code>set-session-transport-port!</code> corresponds
to <code>gnutls_transport_set_ptr</code>, making it clear that this
procedure applies to session.
