SSL_CTX_SET_MSG_CALLBACK(3)	    OpenSSL	   SSL_CTX_SET_MSG_CALLBACK(3)

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).

       buf, len
	   buf points to a buffer containing the protocol message or other
	   data	(in the	case of	pseudo content types), which consists of len
	   bytes. The buffer is	no longer valid	after the callback function
	   has returned.

       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.
