void *arg), void *arg);

void SSL_get0_alpn_selected(const SSL *ssl, const unsigned char **data,
unsigned int *len);
DESCRIPTION
SSL_CTX_set_alpn_protos() and SSL_set_alpn_protos() are used by the
client to set the list of protocols available to be negotiated. The
protos must be in protocol-list format, described below. The length of
protos is specified in protos_len.
SSL_CTX_set_alpn_select_cb() sets the application callback cb used by a
server to select which protocol to use for the incoming connection.
When cb is NULL, ALPN is not used. The arg value is a pointer which is
passed to the application callback.
cb is the application defined callback. The in, inlen parameters are a
vector in protocol-list format. The value of the out, outlen vector
should be set to the value of a single protocol selected from the in,
inlen vector. The 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 cb. The protocol data
in server, server_len and client, client_len must be in the protocol-
list format described below. The first item in the server, server_len
list that matches an item in the client, client_len list is selected,
and returned in out, outlen. The out value will point into either
server or client, so it should be copied immediately. If no match is
found, the first item in client, client_len is returned in out, outlen.
This function can also be used in the NPN callback.
SSL_get0_alpn_selected() returns a pointer to the selected protocol in
data with length len. It is not NUL-terminated. data is set to NULL and
len is set to 0 if no protocol has been selected. data must not be
freed.
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.
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:
OPENSSL_NPN_NEGOTIATED
A match was found and is returned in out, outlen.
OPENSSL_NPN_NO_OVERLAP
No match was found. The first item in client, client_len is
returned in out, outlen.
The ALPN select callback cb, must return one of the following:
SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_OK
ALPN protocol selected.
SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_NOACK
ALPN protocol not selected.
