<h4 class="subsection">6.1.4 Debugging and auditing</h4>

<p>In many cases things may not go as expected and further information,
to assist debugging, from <acronym>GnuTLS</acronym> is desired. 
Those are the cases where the <a href="Core-TLS-API.html#gnutls_005fglobal_005fset_005flog_005flevel">gnutls_global_set_log_level</a> and
<a href="Core-TLS-API.html#gnutls_005fglobal_005fset_005flog_005ffunction">gnutls_global_set_log_function</a> are to be used. Those will print
verbose information on the <acronym>GnuTLS</acronym> functions internal flow.
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code><var>void</var> <a href="Core-TLS-API.html#gnutls_005fglobal_005fset_005flog_005flevel">gnutls_global_set_log_level</a> (int <var>level</var>)</code></dt>
<dt><code><var>void</var> <a href="Core-TLS-API.html#gnutls_005fglobal_005fset_005flog_005ffunction">gnutls_global_set_log_function</a> (gnutls_log_func <var>log_func</var>)</code></dt>
</dl>

<p>When debugging is not required, important issues, such as detected
attacks on the protocol still need to be logged. This is provided
by the logging function set by
<a href="Core-TLS-API.html#gnutls_005fglobal_005fset_005faudit_005flog_005ffunction">gnutls_global_set_audit_log_function</a>. The provided function
will receive an message and the corresponding
TLS session. The session information might be used to derive IP addresses
or other information about the peer involved.
</p>




<dl>
<dt><a name="index-gnutls_005fglobal_005fset_005faudit_005flog_005ffunction"></a>Function: <em>void</em> <strong>gnutls_global_set_audit_log_function</strong> <em>(gnutls_audit_log_func <var>log_func</var>)</em></dt>
<dd><p><var>log_func</var>: it is the audit log function
</p>
<p>This is the function where you set the logging function gnutls is
going to use.  This is different from <code>gnutls_global_set_log_function()</code> 
because it will report the session of the event if any. Note that
that session might be null if there is no corresponding TLS session.
</p>
<p><code>gnutls_audit_log_func</code> is of the form,
void (*gnutls_audit_log_func)( gnutls_session_t, const char*);
</p>
<p><strong>Since:</strong> 3.0
