=head1 NAME

SSL_client_version, SSL_get_version, SSL_is_dtls, SSL_is_tls, SSL_is_quic,
SSL_version - get the protocol information of a connection

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/ssl.h>

 int SSL_client_version(const SSL *s);

 const char *SSL_get_version(const SSL *ssl);

 int SSL_is_dtls(const SSL *ssl);
 int SSL_is_tls(const SSL *ssl);
 int SSL_is_quic(const SSL *ssl);

 int SSL_version(const SSL *s);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

SSL_client_version() returns the numeric protocol version advertised by the
client in the legacy_version field of the ClientHello when initiating the
connection. Note that, for TLS, this value will never indicate a version greater
than TLSv1.2 even if TLSv1.3 is subsequently negotiated. SSL_get_version()
returns the name of the protocol used for the connection. SSL_version() returns
the numeric protocol version used for the connection. They should only be called
after the initial handshake has been completed. Prior to that the results
returned from these functions may be unreliable.

SSL_is_dtls() returns 1 if the connection is using DTLS or 0 if not.

SSL_is_tls() returns 1 if the connection is using SSL/TLS or 0 if not.

SSL_is_quic() returns 1 if the connection is using QUIC or 0 if not.

=head1 RETURN VALUES


SSL_get_version() returns one of the following strings:

=over 4

=item SSLv3

The connection uses the SSLv3 protocol.

=item TLSv1

The connection uses the TLSv1.0 protocol.

=item TLSv1.1

The connection uses the TLSv1.1 protocol.

=item TLSv1.2

The connection uses the TLSv1.2 protocol.

=item TLSv1.3

The connection uses the TLSv1.3 protocol.

=item DTLSv0.9

The connection uses an obsolete pre-standardisation DTLS protocol

=item DTLSv1

The connection uses the DTLSv1 protocol

=item DTLSv1.2

The connection uses the DTLSv1.2 protocol

=item QUICv1

The connection uses the QUICv1 protocol.

=item unknown

This indicates an unknown protocol version.

=back

SSL_version() and SSL_client_version() return an integer which could include any
of the following:

=over 4

=item SSL3_VERSION

The connection uses the SSLv3 protocol.

=item TLS1_VERSION

The connection uses the TLSv1.0 protocol.

=item TLS1_1_VERSION

The connection uses the TLSv1.1 protocol.

=item TLS1_2_VERSION

The connection uses the TLSv1.2 protocol.

=item TLS1_3_VERSION

The connection uses the TLSv1.3 protocol (never returned for
SSL_client_version()).

=item  DTLS1_BAD_VER

The connection uses an obsolete pre-standardisation DTLS protocol

=item DTLS1_VERSION

The connection uses the DTLSv1 protocol

=item DTLS1_2_VERSION

The connection uses the DTLSv1.2 protocol

=item OSSL_QUIC1_VERSION

The connection uses the QUICv1 protocol (never returned for
SSL_client_version()).

=back

=head1 HISTORY

The SSL_is_dtls() function was added in OpenSSL 1.1.0. The SSL_is_tls() and
SSL_is_quic() functions were added in OpenSSL 3.2.
