nng_tls_config_alloc(3tls)

SYNOPSIS

#include <nng/nng.h>
#include <nng/supplemental/tls/tls.h>

typedef enum nng_tls_mode {
    NNG_TLS_MODE_CLIENT,
    NNG_TLS_MODE_SERVER
} nng_tls_mode;

int nng_tls_config_alloc(nng_tls_config **cfgp, nng_tls_mode mode);

DESCRIPTION

The nng_tls_config_alloc() function creates a newly initialized Transport Layer Security) configuration object, and stores a pointer to it in the value pointed to by cfgp.

This object is initialized for use when acting as either a client (NNG_TLS_MODE_CLIENT) or as a server (NNG_TLS_MODE_SERVER), depending on the value of mode.

A TLS object can be further modified by functions that set the security keys used, peer certificates, protocol policies, and so forth.

A single TLS configuration object can be used with multiple TLS streams or services. The underlying system uses reference counting to ensure that object is not inadvertently freed while in use.

A configuration object created with nng_tls_config_alloc() starts with a reference count of one. The reference count may be incremented using nng_tls_config_hold() and may be decremented with nng_tls_config_free().

Also note that a TLS configuration object becomes “read-only” after it is first used with a service. After this points, attempts to apply further changes to the configuration will result in NNG_EBUSY.

RETURN VALUES

This function returns 0 on success, and non-zero otherwise.

ERRORS

NNG_ENOMEM

Insufficient memory is available.

NNG_EINVAL

An invalid mode was specified.
