SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg() and SSL_set_msg_callback_arg() +can be used to set argument I<arg> to the callback function, which is +available for arbitrary application use. + +SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback() and SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg() specify +default settings that will be copied to new B<SSL> objects by +L<SSL_new(3)|SSL_new(3)>. SSL_set_msg_callback() and +SSL_set_msg_callback_arg() modify the actual settings of an B<SSL> +object. Using a B<0> pointer for I<cb> disables the message callback. + +When I<cb> is called by the SSL/TLS library for a protocol message, +the function arguments have the following meaning: + +=over 4 + +=item I<write_p> + +This flag is B<0> when a protocol message has been received and B<1> +when a protocol message has been sent. + +=item I<version> + +The protocol version according to which the protocol message is +interpreted by the library. Currently, this is one of +B<SSL2_VERSION>, B<SSL3_VERSION> and B<TLS1_VERSION> (for SSL 2.0, SSL +3.0 and TLS 1.0, respectively). + +=item I<content_type> + +In the case of SSL 2.0, this is always B<0>. In the case of SSL 3.0 +or TLS 1.0, this is one of the B<ContentType> values defined in the +protocol specification (B<change_cipher_spec(20)>, B<alert(21)>, +B<handshake(22)>; but never B<application_data(23)> because the +callback will only be called for protocol messages). + +=item I<buf>, I<len> + +I<buf> points to a buffer containing the protocol message, which +consists of I<len> bytes. The buffer is no longer valid after the +callback function has returned. + +=item I<ssl> + +The B<SSL> object that received or sent the message. + +=item I<arg> + +The user-defined argument optionally defined by +SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg() or SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(). + +=back + +=head1 NOTES + +Protocol messages are passed to the callback function after decryption +and fragment collection where applicable. (Thus record boundaries are +not visible.) + +If processing a received protocol message results in an error, +the callback function may not be called. For example, the callback +function will never see messages that are considered too large to be +processed. + +Due to automatic protocol version negotiation, I<version> is not +necessarily the protocol version used by the sender of the message: If +a TLS 1.0 ClientHello message is received by an SSL 3.0-only server, +I<version> will be B<SSL3_VERSION>. + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L<ssl(3)|ssl(3)>, L<SSL_new(3)|SSL_new(3)> + +=head1 HISTORY + +SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(), SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(), +SSL_set_msg_callback() and SSL_get_msg_callback_arg() were added in OpenSSL 0.9.7. + +=cut |
