# NAME

SSL_CTX_set_quiet_shutdown, SSL_CTX_get_quiet_shutdown, SSL_set_quiet_shutdown, SSL_get_quiet_shutdown - manipulate shutdown behaviour

# SYNOPSIS

    #include <openssl/ssl.h>

    void SSL_CTX_set_quiet_shutdown(SSL_CTX *ctx, int mode);
    int SSL_CTX_get_quiet_shutdown(const SSL_CTX *ctx);

    void SSL_set_quiet_shutdown(SSL *ssl, int mode);
    int SSL_get_quiet_shutdown(const SSL *ssl);

# DESCRIPTION

SSL_CTX_set_quiet_shutdown() sets the "quiet shutdown" flag for ctx to be mode. SSL objects created from ctx inherit the mode valid at the time SSL_new(3) is called. mode may be 0 or 1.

SSL_CTX_get_quiet_shutdown() returns the "quiet shutdown" setting of ctx.

SSL_set_quiet_shutdown() sets the "quiet shutdown" flag for ssl to be mode. The setting stays valid until ssl is removed with SSL_free(3) or SSL_set_quiet_shutdown() is called again. It is not changed when SSL_clear(3) is called. mode may be 0 or 1.

SSL_get_quiet_shutdown() returns the "quiet shutdown" setting of ssl.

These functions are not supported for QUIC SSL objects. SSL_set_quiet_shutdown() has no effect if called on a QUIC SSL object.

# NOTES

Normally when a SSL connection is finished, the parties must send out close_notify alert messages using SSL_shutdown(3) for a clean shutdown.

When setting the "quiet shutdown" flag to 1, SSL_shutdown(3) will set the internal flags to SSL_SENT_SHUTDOWN|SSL_RECEIVED_SHUTDOWN. (SSL_shutdown(3) then behaves like SSL_set_shutdown(3) called with SSL_SENT_SHUTDOWN|SSL_RECEIVED_SHUTDOWN.) The session is thus considered to be shutdown, but no close_notify alert is sent to the peer. This behaviour violates the TLS standard.

The default is normal shutdown behaviour as described by the TLS standard.

# RETURN VALUES

SSL_CTX_set_quiet_shutdown() and SSL_set_quiet_shutdown() do not return diagnostic information.

SSL_CTX_get_quiet_shutdown() and SSL_get_quiet_shutdown() return the current setting.
