SSL_GET_CONN_CLOSE_INFO(3ossl)

NAME
SSL_get_conn_close_info, SSL_CONN_CLOSE_FLAG_LOCAL, SSL_CONN_CLOSE_FLAG_TRANSPORT - get information about why a QUIC connection was closed

SYNOPSIS
 #include <openssl/ssl.h>

 #define SSL_CONN_CLOSE_FLAG_LOCAL
 #define SSL_CONN_CLOSE_FLAG_TRANSPORT

 typedef struct ssl_conn_close_info_st {
     uint64_t error_code, frame_type;
     char     *reason;
     size_t   reason_len;
     uint32_t flags;
 } SSL_CONN_CLOSE_INFO;

 int SSL_get_conn_close_info(SSL *ssl, SSL_CONN_CLOSE_INFO *info,
                             size_t info_len);

DESCRIPTION
The SSL_get_conn_close_info() function provides information about why and how a QUIC connection was closed.

Connection closure information is written to *info, which must be non-NULL. info_len must be set to "sizeof(*info)".

The following fields are set:

error_code
    This is a 62-bit QUIC error code. It is either a 62-bit application error code (if SSL_CONN_CLOSE_FLAG_TRANSPORT not set in flags) or a 62-bit standard QUIC transport error code (if SSL_CONN_CLOSE_FLAG_TRANSPORT is set in flags).

frame_type
    If SSL_CONN_CLOSE_FLAG_TRANSPORT is set, this may be set to a QUIC frame type number which caused the connection to be closed. It may also be set to 0 if no frame type was specified as causing the connection to be closed. If SSL_CONN_CLOSE_FLAG_TRANSPORT is not set, this is set to 0.

reason
    If non-NULL, this is intended to be a UTF-8 textual string briefly describing the reason for connection closure. The length of the reason string in bytes is given in reason_len. While, if non-NULL, OpenSSL guarantees that this string will be zero terminated, consider that this buffer may originate from the (untrusted) peer and thus may also contain zero bytes elsewhere. Therefore, use of reason_len is recommended.

    While it is intended as per the QUIC protocol that this be a UTF-8 string, there is no guarantee that this is the case for strings received from the peer.

SSL_CONN_CLOSE_FLAG_LOCAL
    If flags has SSL_CONN_CLOSE_FLAG_LOCAL set, connection closure was locally triggered. This could be due to an application request (e.g. if SSL_CONN_CLOSE_FLAG_TRANSPORT is unset), or (if SSL_CONN_CLOSE_FLAG_TRANSPORT is set) due to logic internal to the QUIC implementation (for example, if the peer engages in a protocol violation, or an idle timeout occurs).

    If unset, connection closure was remotely triggered.

SSL_CONN_CLOSE_FLAG_TRANSPORT
    If flags has SSL_CONN_CLOSE_FLAG_TRANSPORT set, connection closure was triggered for QUIC protocol reasons. Otherwise, connection closure was triggered by the local or remote application.

RETURN VALUES
SSL_get_conn_close_info() returns 1 on success and 0 on failure. This function fails if called on a QUIC connection SSL object which has not yet been terminated. It also fails if called on a QUIC stream SSL object or a non-QUIC SSL object.
