Common Issues
- gnutls_bye() should be called when the TLS session is no longer needed or when an error occurs during the session.
- If gnutls_bye() is not called, the TLS session will be left open, potentially consuming system resources and increasing the risk of security vulnerabilities.
Integration
gnutls_bye() can be used in conjunction with other GNUTLS functions such as gnutls_init(), gnutls_connect(), and gnutls_certificate_set() to create and manage secure TLS connections.
