@deftypefun {void} {gnutls_handshake_set_private_extensions} (gnutls_session_t @var{session}, int @var{allow}) @var{session}: is a @code{gnutls_session_t} type. @var{allow}: is an integer (0 or 1) This function will enable or disable the use of private cipher suites (the ones that start with 0xFF). By default or if @code{allow} is 0 then these cipher suites will not be advertised nor used. Currently GnuTLS does not include such cipher-suites or compression algorithms. Enabling the private ciphersuites when talking to other than gnutls servers and clients may cause interoperability problems. @end deftypefun
