The .Fa protos must be in protocol-list format, described below. The length of .Fa protos is specified in .Fa protos_len . .Pp .Fn SSL_CTX_set_alpn_select_cb sets the application callback .Fa cb used by a server to select which protocol to use for the incoming connection. When .Fa cb is .Dv NULL , ALPN is not used. The .Fa arg value is a pointer which is passed to the application callback. .Pp .Fa cb is the application defined callback. The .Fa in , .Fa inlen parameters are a vector in protocol-list format. The value of the .Fa out , .Fa outlen vector should be set to the value of a single protocol selected from the .Fa in , .Fa inlen vector. The .Fa out buffer may point directly into .Fa in , or to a buffer that outlives the handshake. The .Fa arg parameter is the pointer set via .Fn SSL_CTX_set_alpn_select_cb . .Pp .Fn 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 .Fa cb . The protocol data in .Fa server , .Fa server_len and .Fa client , .Fa client_len must be in the protocol-list format described below. The first item in the .Fa server , .Fa server_len list that matches an item in the .Fa client , .Fa client_len list is selected, and returned in .Fa out , .Fa outlen . The .Fa out value will point into either .Fa server or .Fa client , so it should be copied immediately. If no match is found, the first item in .Fa client , .Fa client_len is returned in .Fa out , .Fa outlen . .Pp .Fn SSL_get0_alpn_selected returns a pointer to the selected protocol in .Fa data with length .Fa len . It is not NUL-terminated. .Fa data is set to .Dv NULL and .Fa len is set to 0 if no protocol has been selected. .Fa data must not be freed. .Pp 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. .Pp For example: .Bd -literal unsigned char vector[] = { 6, 's', 'p', 'd', 'y', '/', '1', 8, 'h', 't', 't', 'p', '/', '1', '.', '1' }; unsigned int length = sizeof(vector); .Ed .Pp The ALPN callback is executed after the servername callback; as that servername callback may update the SSL_CTX, and subsequently, the ALPN callback. .Pp If there is no ALPN proposed in the ClientHello, the ALPN callback is not invoked. .Sh RETURN VALUES .Fn SSL_CTX_set_alpn_protos and .Fn SSL_set_alpn_protos return 0 on success or non-zero on failure. WARNING: these functions reverse the return value convention. .Pp .Fn SSL_select_next_proto returns one of the following: .Bl -tag -width Ds .It OPENSSL_NPN_NEGOTIATED A match was found and is returned in .Fa out , .Fa outlen . .It OPENSSL_NPN_NO_OVERLAP No match was found. The first item in .Fa client , .Fa client_len is returned in .Fa out , .Fa outlen . .El .Pp The ALPN select callback .Fa cb must return one of the following: .Bl -tag -width Ds .It SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_OK ALPN protocol selected. .It SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_NOACK ALPN protocol not selected. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr ssl 3 , .Xr SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg 3 , .Xr SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback 3 .Sh HISTORY .Fn SSL_select_next_proto first appeared in OpenSSL 1.0.1 and has been available since .Ox 5.3 . .Pp .Fn SSL_CTX_set_alpn_protos , .Fn SSL_set_alpn_protos , .Fn SSL_CTX_set_alpn_select_cb , and .Fn SSL_get0_alpn_selected first appeared in OpenSSL 1.0.2 and have been available since .Ox 5.7 .
