💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the SSL_GET0_CONNECTION(3ossl) page — this is the one about getting a QUIC connection SSL object from a QUIC stream SSL object. It's giving two-function group chat:

  • SSL_get0_connection — get a QUIC connection SSL object from a QUIC stream SSL object. 👑
  • SSL_is_connection — check whether an SSL object is not a QUIC stream SSL object. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <openssl/ssl.h>

SSL *SSL_get0_connection(SSL *ssl);
int SSL_is_connection(SSL *ssl);

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

SSL_get0_connection() is the main character here. When you call it on a QUIC stream SSL object, it returns the QUIC connection SSL object which the QUIC stream SSL object belongs to. 🫶

When you call it on a QUIC connection SSL object, it returns the same object. And when you call it on a non-QUIC object, it returns the same object it was passed. the way that it just hands the object back is lowkey iconic. ✨

SSL_is_connection() is the vibe check: it returns 1 for QUIC connection SSL objects and for non-QUIC SSL objects, but returns 0 for QUIC stream SSL objects. 🎀

✨ RETURN VALUES ✨

  • SSL_get0_connection() returns the QUIC connection SSL object (for a QUIC stream SSL object) and otherwise returns the same SSL object passed. It always returns non-NULL. 💯
  • SSL_is_connection() returns 1 if the SSL object is not a QUIC stream SSL object and 0 otherwise. 🦋
