Using a .Dv NULL pointer for .Fa cb disables the message callback. .Pp When .Fa cb is called by the SSL/TLS library for a protocol message, the function arguments have the following meaning: .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Fa write_p This flag is 0 when a protocol message has been received and 1 when a protocol message has been sent. .It Fa version The protocol version according to which the protocol message is interpreted by the library, such as .Dv TLS1_VERSION , .Dv TLS1_1_VERSION , .Dv TLS1_2_VERSION , or .Dv DTLS1_VERSION . .It Fa content_type This is one of the .Em ContentType values defined in the protocol specification .Po .Dv SSL3_RT_CHANGE_CIPHER_SPEC , .Dv SSL3_RT_ALERT , .Dv SSL3_RT_HANDSHAKE , but never .Dv SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA because the callback will only be called for protocol messages. .Pc .It Fa buf , Fa len .Fa buf points to a buffer containing the protocol message, which consists of .Fa len bytes. The buffer is no longer valid after the callback function has returned. .It Fa ssl The .Vt SSL object that received or sent the message. .It Fa arg The user-defined argument optionally defined by .Fn SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg or .Fn SSL_set_msg_callback_arg . .El .Pp Protocol messages are passed to the callback function after decryption and fragment collection where applicable. (Thus record boundaries are not visible.) .Pp 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. .Pp Due to automatic protocol version negotiation, .Fa 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, .Fa version will be .Dv SSL3_VERSION . .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr ssl 3 , .Xr SSL_new 3 .Sh HISTORY .Fn SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback , .Fn SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg , .Fn SSL_set_msg_callback and .Fn SSL_set_msg_callback_arg first appeared in OpenSSL 0.9.7 and have been available since .Ox 3.2 .
