SSL_GET_VERSION(3ossl) OpenSSL SSL_GET_VERSION(3ossl)
NAME
SSL_client_version, SSL_get_version, SSL_is_dtls, SSL_version - get the
protocol information of a connection
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_version(const SSL *s);
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 one if the connection is using DTLS, zero if not.
RETURN VALUES
SSL_get_version() returns one of the following strings:
SSLv3
The connection uses the SSLv3 protocol.
TLSv1
The connection uses the TLSv1.0 protocol.
TLSv1.1
The connection uses the TLSv1.1 protocol.
TLSv1.2
The connection uses the TLSv1.2 protocol.
TLSv1.3
The connection uses the TLSv1.3 protocol.
unknown
This indicates an unknown protocol version.
SSL_version() and SSL_client_version() return an integer which could
include any of the following:
SSL3_VERSION
The connection uses the SSLv3 protocol.
TLS1_VERSION
TLS1_3_VERSION
The connection uses the TLSv1.3 protocol (never returned for
SSL_client_version()).

HISTORY
The SSL_is_dtls() function was added in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
