@deftypefun {int} {gnutls_session_get_id2} (gnutls_session_t @var{session}, gnutls_datum_t * @var{session_id})

@var{session}: is a @code{gnutls_session_t}  type.

@var{session_id}: will point to the session ID.

Returns the TLS session identifier. The session ID is selected by the

server, and in older versions of TLS was a unique identifier shared

between client and server which was persistent across resumption.

In the latest version of TLS (1.3) or TLS 1.2 with session tickets, the

notion of session identifiers is undefined and cannot be relied for uniquely

identifying sessions across client and server.

In client side this function returns the identifier returned by the

server, and cannot be assumed to have any relation to session resumption.

In server side this function is guaranteed to return a persistent

identifier of the session since GnuTLS 3.6.4, which may not necessarily

map into the TLS session ID value. Prior to that version the value

could only be considered a persistent identifier, under TLS1.2 or earlier

and when no session tickets were in use.

The session identifier value returned is always less than

@code{GNUTLS_MAX_SESSION_ID_SIZE}  and should be treated as constant.

@strong{Returns:} On success, @code{GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS}  (0) is returned, otherwise

an error code is returned.

@strong{Since:} 3.1.4
