NAME
SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback, SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg,
SSL_set_msg_callback, SSL_set_msg_callback_arg - install callback for
observing protocol messages
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
void SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx,
void (*cb)(int write_p, int version,
int content_type, const void *buf,
size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg));
void SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(SSL_CTX *ctx, void *arg);
void SSL_set_msg_callback(SSL *ssl,
void (*cb)(int write_p, int version,
int content_type, const void *buf,
size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg));
void SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(SSL *ssl, void *arg);
DESCRIPTION
SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback() or SSL_set_msg_callback() can be used to
define a message callback function cb for observing all SSL/TLS
protocol messages (such as handshake messages) that are received or
sent, as well as other events that occur during processing.
SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg() and SSL_set_msg_callback_arg() can be
used to set argument 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 SSL objects by SSL_new(3).
SSL_set_msg_callback() and SSL_set_msg_callback_arg() modify the actual
settings of an SSL object. Using a NULL pointer for cb disables the
message callback.
When cb is called by the SSL/TLS library the function arguments have
the following meaning:
write_p
This flag is 0 when a protocol message has been received and 1 when
a protocol message has been sent.
version
The protocol version according to which the protocol message is
interpreted by the library such as TLS1_3_VERSION, TLS1_2_VERSION
etc. This is set to 0 for the SSL3_RT_HEADER pseudo content type
(see NOTES below).
content_type
This is one of the content type values defined in the protocol
specification (SSL3_RT_CHANGE_CIPHER_SPEC, SSL3_RT_ALERT,
SSL3_RT_HANDSHAKE; but never SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA because the
callback will only be called for protocol messages). Alternatively
it may be a "pseudo" content type. These pseudo content types are
used to signal some other event in the processing of data (see
NOTES below).
ssl The SSL object that received or sent the message.
arg The user-defined argument optionally defined by
SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg() or SSL_set_msg_callback_arg().
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, 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,
version will be SSL3_VERSION.
Pseudo content type values may be sent at various points during the
processing of data. The following pseudo content types are currently
defined:
SSL3_RT_HEADER
Used when a record is sent or received. The buf contains the record
header bytes only.
SSL3_RT_INNER_CONTENT_TYPE
Used when an encrypted TLSv1.3 record is sent or received. In
encrypted TLSv1.3 records the content type in the record header is
always SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA. The real content type for the
record is contained in an "inner" content type. buf contains the
encoded "inner" content type byte.
RETURN VALUES
SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(), SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(),
SSL_set_msg_callback() and SSL_set_msg_callback_arg() do not return
values.

HISTORY
The pseudo content type SSL3_RT_INNER_CONTENT_TYPE was added in OpenSSL
1.1.1.
