The B<protos> must be in protocol-list format, described below. The length of B<protos> is specified in B<protos_len>. SSL_CTX_set_alpn_select_cb() sets the application callback B<cb> used by a server to select which protocol to use for the incoming connection. When B<cb> is NULL, ALPN is not used. The B<arg> value is a pointer which is passed to the application callback. B<cb> is the application defined callback. The B<in>, B<inlen> parameters are a vector in protocol-list format. The value of the B<out>, B<outlen> vector should be set to the value of a single protocol selected from the B<in>, B<inlen> vector. The B<out> buffer may point directly into B<in>, or to a buffer that outlives the handshake. The B<arg> parameter is the pointer set via SSL_CTX_set_alpn_select_cb(). SSL_select_next_proto() is a helper function used to select protocols. It implements the standard protocol selection. It is expected that this function is called from the application callback B<cb>. The protocol data in B<server>, B<server_len> and B<client>, B<client_len> must be in the protocol-list format described below. The first item in the B<server>, B<server_len> list that matches an item in the B<client>, B<client_len> list is selected, and returned in B<out>, B<outlen>. The B<out> value will point into either B<server> or B<client>, so it should be copied immediately. If no match is found, the first item in B<client>, B<client_len> is returned in B<out>, B<outlen>. This function can also be used in the NPN callback. SSL_CTX_set_next_proto_select_cb() sets a callback B<cb> that is called when a client needs to select a protocol from the server's provided list, and a user-defined pointer argument B<arg> which will be passed to this callback. For the callback itself, B<out> must be set to point to the selected protocol (which may be within B<in>). The length of the protocol name must be written into B<outlen>. The server's advertised protocols are provided in B<in> and B<inlen>. The callback can assume that B<in> is syntactically valid. The client must select a protocol. It is fatal to the connection if this callback returns a value other than B<SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_OK>. The B<arg> parameter is the pointer set via SSL_CTX_set_next_proto_select_cb(). SSL_CTX_set_next_protos_advertised_cb() sets a callback B<cb> that is called when a TLS server needs a list of supported protocols for Next Protocol Negotiation. The returned list must be in protocol-list format, described below. The list is returned by setting B<out> to point to it and B<outlen> to its length. This memory will not be modified, but the B<SSL> does keep a reference to it. The callback should return B<SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_OK> if it wishes to advertise. Otherwise, no such extension will be included in the ServerHello. SSL_get0_alpn_selected() returns a pointer to the selected protocol in B<data> with length B<len>. It is not NUL-terminated. B<data> is set to NULL and B<len> is set to 0 if no protocol has been selected. B<data> must not be freed. SSL_get0_next_proto_negotiated() sets B<data> and B<len> to point to the client's requested protocol for this connection. If the client did not request any protocol or NPN is not enabled, then B<data> is set to NULL and B<len> to 0. Note that the client can request any protocol it chooses. The value returned from this function need not be a member of the list of supported protocols provided by the callback. =head1 NOTES The protocol-lists must be in wire-format, which is defined as a vector of non-empty, 8-bit length-prefixed, byte strings. The length-prefix byte is not included in the length. Each string is limited to 255 bytes. A byte-string length of 0 is invalid. A truncated byte-string is invalid. The length of the vector is not in the vector itself, but in a separate variable. Example: unsigned char vector[] = { 6, 's', 'p', 'd', 'y', '/', '1', 8, 'h', 't', 't', 'p', '/', '1', '.', '1' }; unsigned int length = sizeof(vector); The ALPN callback is executed after the servername callback; as that servername callback may update the SSL_CTX, and subsequently, the ALPN callback. If there is no ALPN proposed in the ClientHello, the ALPN callback is not invoked. =head1 RETURN VALUES SSL_CTX_set_alpn_protos() and SSL_set_alpn_protos() return 0 on success, and non-0 on failure. WARNING: these functions reverse the return value convention. SSL_select_next_proto() returns one of the following: =over 4 =item OPENSSL_NPN_NEGOTIATED A match was found and is returned in B<out>, B<outlen>. =item OPENSSL_NPN_NO_OVERLAP No match was found. The first item in B<client>, B<client_len> is returned in B<out>, B<outlen>. =back The ALPN select callback B<cb>, must return one of the following: =over 4 =item SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_OK ALPN protocol selected. =item SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_ALERT_FATAL There was no overlap between the client's supplied list and the server configuration. =item SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_NOACK ALPN protocol not selected, e.g., because no ALPN protocols are configured for this connection. =back The callback set using SSL_CTX_set_next_proto_select_cb() should return B<SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_OK> if successful. Any other value is fatal to the connection. The callback set using SSL_CTX_set_next_protos_advertised_cb() should return B<SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_OK> if it wishes to advertise. Otherwise, no such extension will be included in the ServerHello. =head1 SEE ALSO L<ssl(7)>, L<SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback(3)>, L<SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg(3)> =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright 2016-2017 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
