18Library Version
19---------------
20
21LSQUIC follows the following versioning model.  The version number
22has the form MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, where
23
24- MAJOR changes when a large redesign occurs;
25- MINOR changes when an API change or another significant change occurs; and
26- PATCH changes when a bug is fixed or another small, API-compatible change occurs.

28QUIC Versions
29-------------
30
31LSQUIC supports two types of QUIC protocol: Google QUIC and IETF QUIC.  The
32former will at some point become obsolete, while the latter is still being
33developed by the IETF.  Both types are included in a single enum:
34
35.. type:: enum lsquic_version
36
37    .. member:: LSQVER_043
38
39        Google QUIC version Q043
40
41    .. member:: LSQVER_046
42
43        Google QUIC version Q046
44
45    .. member:: LSQVER_050
46
47        Google QUIC version Q050
48
49    .. member:: LSQVER_ID27

57    .. member:: LSQVER_ID29
58
59        IETF QUIC version ID 29
60
61    .. member:: N_LSQVER
62
63        Special value indicating the number of versions in the enum.  It
64        may be used as argument to :func:`lsquic_engine_connect()`.
65
66Several version lists (as bitmasks) are defined in :file:`lsquic.h`:
67
68.. macro:: LSQUIC_SUPPORTED_VERSIONS
69
70List of all supported versions.
71
72.. macro:: LSQUIC_FORCED_TCID0_VERSIONS
73
74List of versions in which the server never includes CID in short packets.
75
76.. macro:: LSQUIC_EXPERIMENTAL_VERSIONS
77
78Experimental versions.
79
80.. macro:: LSQUIC_DEPRECATED_VERSIONS
81
82Deprecated versions.
83
84.. macro:: LSQUIC_GQUIC_HEADER_VERSIONS
85
86Versions that have Google QUIC-like headers.  Only Q043 remains in this
87list.

91IETF QUIC versions.
92
93.. macro:: LSQUIC_IETF_DRAFT_VERSIONS

98LSQUIC Types
99------------
100
101LSQUIC declares several types used by many of its public functions.  They are:
102
103.. type:: lsquic_engine_t
104
105    Instance of LSQUIC engine.
106
107.. type:: lsquic_conn_t
108
109    QUIC connection.
110
111.. type:: lsquic_stream_t
112
113    QUIC stream.
114
115.. type:: lsquic_stream_id_t
116
117    Stream ID.
118
119.. type:: lsquic_conn_ctx_t
120
121    Connection context.  This is the return value of :member:`lsquic_stream_if.on_new_conn`.
122    To LSQUIC, this is just an opaque pointer.  User code is expected to
123    use it for its own purposes.
124
125.. type:: lsquic_stream_ctx_t
126
127    Stream context.  This is the return value of :func:`on_new_stream()`.
128    To LSQUIC, this is just an opaque pointer.  User code is expected to
129    use it for its own purposes.
130
131.. type:: lsquic_http_headers_t
132
133    HTTP headers
134
135Library Initialization
136----------------------
137
138Before using the library, internal structures must be initialized using
139the global initialization function:
140
141::
142
143    if (0 == lsquic_global_init(LSQUIC_GLOBAL_CLIENT|LSQUIC_GLOBAL_SERVER))
144        /* OK, do something useful */
145        ;
146
147This call only needs to be made once.  Afterwards, any number of LSQUIC
148engines may be instantiated.
149
150After a process is done using LSQUIC, it should clean up:
151
152::
153
154    lsquic_global_cleanup();
155
156Logging
157-------
158
159.. type:: struct lsquic_logger_if
160
161    .. member:: int     (*log_buf)(void *logger_ctx, const char *buf, size_t len)
162
163.. function:: void lsquic_logger_init (const struct lsquic_logger_if *logger_if, void *logger_ctx, enum lsquic_logger_timestamp_style)
164
165    Call this if you want to do something with LSQUIC log messages, as they are thrown out by default.
166
167.. function:: int lsquic_set_log_level (const char *log_level)
168
169    Set log level for all LSQUIC modules.
170
171    :param log_level: Acceptable values are debug, info, notice, warning, error, alert, emerg, crit (case-insensitive).
172    :return: 0 on success or -1 on failure (invalid log level).
173
174.. function:: int lsquic_logger_lopt (const char *log_specs)
175
176    Set log level for a particular module or several modules.
177
178    :param log_specs:
179
180        One or more "module=level" specifications serapated by comma.
181        For example, "event=debug,engine=info".  See `List of Log Modules`_
182
183Engine Instantiation and Destruction
184------------------------------------
185
186To use the library, an instance of the ``struct lsquic_engine`` needs to be
187created:
188
189.. function:: lsquic_engine_t *lsquic_engine_new (unsigned flags, const struct lsquic_engine_api *api)
190
191    Create a new engine.
192
193    :param flags: This is is a bitmask of :macro:`LSENG_SERVER` and
194                :macro:`LSENG_HTTP`.
195    :param api: Pointer to an initialized :type:`lsquic_engine_api`.
196
197    The engine can be instantiated either in server mode (when ``LSENG_SERVER``
198    is set) or client mode.  If you need both server and client in your program,
199    create two engines (or as many as you'd like).
200
201    Specifying ``LSENG_HTTP`` flag enables the HTTP functionality: HTTP/2-like
202    for Google QUIC connections and HTTP/3 functionality for IETF QUIC
203    connections.
204
205.. macro:: LSENG_SERVER
206
207    One of possible bitmask values passed as first argument to
208    :type:`lsquic_engine_new`.  When set, the engine instance
209    will be in the server mode.
210
211.. macro:: LSENG_HTTP
212
213    One of possible bitmask values passed as first argument to
214    :type:`lsquic_engine_new`.  When set, the engine instance
215    will enable HTTP functionality.
216
217.. function:: void lsquic_engine_cooldown (lsquic_engine_t *engine)
218
219    This function closes all mini connections and marks all full connections
220    as going away.  In server mode, this also causes the engine to stop
221    creating new connections.
222
223.. function:: void lsquic_engine_destroy (lsquic_engine_t *engine)
224
225    Destroy engine and all its resources.
226
227Engine Callbacks
228----------------
229
230``struct lsquic_engine_api`` contains a few mandatory members and several
231optional members.
232
233.. type:: struct lsquic_engine_api
234
235    .. member:: const struct lsquic_stream_if       *ea_stream_if
236    .. member:: void                                *ea_stream_if_ctx
237
238        ``ea_stream_if`` is mandatory.  This structure contains pointers
239        to callbacks that handle connections and stream events.
240
241    .. member:: lsquic_packets_out_f                 ea_packets_out
242    .. member:: void                                *ea_packets_out_ctx
243
244        ``ea_packets_out`` is used by the engine to send packets.
245
246    .. member:: const struct lsquic_engine_settings *ea_settings
247
248        If ``ea_settings`` is set to NULL, the engine uses default settings
249        (see :func:`lsquic_engine_init_settings()`)
250
251    .. member:: lsquic_lookup_cert_f                 ea_lookup_cert
252    .. member:: void                                *ea_cert_lu_ctx
253
254        Look up certificate.  Mandatory in server mode.
255
256    .. member:: struct ssl_ctx_st *                (*ea_get_ssl_ctx)(void *peer_ctx)
257
258        Get SSL_CTX associated with a peer context.  Mandatory in server
259        mode.  This is use for default values for SSL instantiation.
260
261    .. member:: const struct lsquic_hset_if         *ea_hsi_if
262    .. member:: void                                *ea_hsi_ctx
263
264        Optional header set interface.  If not specified, the incoming headers
265        are converted to HTTP/1.x format and are read from stream and have to
266        be parsed again.
267
268    .. member:: const struct lsquic_shared_hash_if  *ea_shi
269    .. member:: void                                *ea_shi_ctx
270
271        Shared hash interface can be used to share state between several
272        processes of a single QUIC server.
273
274    .. member:: const struct lsquic_packout_mem_if  *ea_pmi
275    .. member:: void                                *ea_pmi_ctx
276
277        Optional set of functions to manage memory allocation for outgoing
278        packets.
279
280    .. member:: lsquic_cids_update_f                 ea_new_scids
281    .. member:: lsquic_cids_update_f                 ea_live_scids
282    .. member:: lsquic_cids_update_f                 ea_old_scids
283    .. member:: void                                *ea_cids_update_ctx
284
285        In a multi-process setup, it may be useful to observe the CID
286        lifecycle.  This optional set of callbacks makes it possible.
287
288    .. member:: const char                          *ea_alpn
289
290        The optional ALPN string is used by the client if :macro:`LSENG_HTTP`
291        is not set.
292
293.. _apiref-engine-settings:
294
295Engine Settings
296---------------
297
298Engine behavior can be controlled by several settings specified in the
299settings structure:
300
301.. type:: struct lsquic_engine_settings
302
303    .. member:: unsigned        es_versions
304
305        This is a bit mask wherein each bit corresponds to a value in
306        :type:`lsquic_version`.  Client starts negotiating with the highest
307        version and goes down.  Server supports either of the versions
308        specified here.  This setting applies to both Google and IETF QUIC.
309
310        The default value is :macro:`LSQUIC_DF_VERSIONS`.
311
312    .. member:: unsigned        es_cfcw
313
314       Initial default connection flow control window.
315
316       In server mode, per-connection values may be set lower than
317       this if resources are scarce.
318
319       Do not set es_cfcw and es_sfcw lower than :macro:`LSQUIC_MIN_FCW`.
320
321    .. member:: unsigned        es_sfcw
322
323       Initial default stream flow control window.
324
325       In server mode, per-connection values may be set lower than
326       this if resources are scarce.
327
328       Do not set es_cfcw and es_sfcw lower than :macro:`LSQUIC_MIN_FCW`.
329
330    .. member:: unsigned        es_max_cfcw
331
332       This value is used to specify maximum allowed value CFCW is allowed
333       to reach due to window auto-tuning.  By default, this value is zero,
334       which means that CFCW is not allowed to increase from its initial
335       value.
336
337       This setting is applicable to both gQUIC and IETF QUIC.
338
339       See :member:`lsquic_engine_settings.es_cfcw`,
340       :member:`lsquic_engine_settings.es_init_max_data`.
341
342    .. member:: unsigned        es_max_sfcw
343
344       This value is used to specify the maximum value stream flow control
345       window is allowed to reach due to auto-tuning.  By default, this
346       value is zero, meaning that auto-tuning is turned off.
347
348       This setting is applicable to both gQUIC and IETF QUIC.
349
350       See :member:`lsquic_engine_settings.es_sfcw`,
351       :member:`lsquic_engine_settings.es_init_max_stream_data_bidi_local`,
352       :member:`lsquic_engine_settings.es_init_max_stream_data_bidi_remote`.
353
354    .. member:: unsigned        es_max_streams_in
355
356        Maximum incoming streams, a.k.a. MIDS.
357
358        Google QUIC only.
359
360    .. member:: unsigned long   es_handshake_to
361
362       Handshake timeout in microseconds.
363
364       For client, this can be set to an arbitrary value (zero turns the
365       timeout off).
366
367       For server, this value is limited to about 16 seconds.  Do not set
368       it to zero.
369
370       Defaults to :macro:`LSQUIC_DF_HANDSHAKE_TO`.
371
372    .. member:: unsigned long   es_idle_conn_to
373
374        Idle connection timeout, a.k.a ICSL, in microseconds; GQUIC only.
375
376        Defaults to :macro:`LSQUIC_DF_IDLE_CONN_TO`
377
378    .. member:: int             es_silent_close
379
380        When true, ``CONNECTION_CLOSE`` is not sent when connection times out.
381        The server will also not send a reply to client's ``CONNECTION_CLOSE``.
382
383        Corresponds to SCLS (silent close) gQUIC option.
384
385    .. member:: unsigned        es_max_header_list_size
386
387       This corresponds to SETTINGS_MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE
388       (:rfc:`7540#section-6.5.2`).  0 means no limit.  Defaults
389       to :func:`LSQUIC_DF_MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE`.
390
391    .. member:: const char     *es_ua
392
393        UAID -- User-Agent ID.  Defaults to :macro:`LSQUIC_DF_UA`.
394
395        Google QUIC only.
396
397
398       More parameters for server
399
400    .. member:: unsigned        es_max_inchoate
401
402        Maximum number of incoming connections in inchoate state.  (In
403        other words, maximum number of mini connections.)
404
405        This is only applicable in server mode.
406
407        Defaults to :macro:`LSQUIC_DF_MAX_INCHOATE`.
408
409    .. member:: int             es_support_push
410
411       Setting this value to 0 means that
412
413       For client:
414
415       1. we send a SETTINGS frame to indicate that we do not support server
416          push; and
417       2. all incoming pushed streams get reset immediately.
418
419       (For maximum effect, set es_max_streams_in to 0.)
420
421       For server:
422
423       1. :func:`lsquic_conn_push_stream()` will return -1.
424
425    .. member:: int             es_support_tcid0
426
427       If set to true value, the server will not include connection ID in
428       outgoing packets if client's CHLO specifies TCID=0.
429
430       For client, this means including TCID=0 into CHLO message.  Note that
431       in this case, the engine tracks connections by the
432       (source-addr, dest-addr) tuple, thereby making it necessary to create
433       a socket for each connection.
434
435       This option has no effect in Q046 and Q050, as the server never includes
436       CIDs in the short packets.
437
438       This setting is applicable to gQUIC only.
439
440       The default is :func:`LSQUIC_DF_SUPPORT_TCID0`.
441
442    .. member:: int             es_support_nstp
443
444       Q037 and higher support "No STOP_WAITING frame" mode.  When set, the
445       client will send NSTP option in its Client Hello message and will not
446       sent STOP_WAITING frames, while ignoring incoming STOP_WAITING frames,
447       if any.  Note that if the version negotiation happens to downgrade the
448       client below Q037, this mode will *not* be used.
449
450       This option does not affect the server, as it must support NSTP mode
451       if it was specified by the client.
452
453        Defaults to :macro:`LSQUIC_DF_SUPPORT_NSTP`.
454
455    .. member:: int             es_honor_prst
456
457       If set to true value, the library will drop connections when it
458       receives corresponding Public Reset packet.  The default is to
459       ignore these packets.
460
461       The default is :macro:`LSQUIC_DF_HONOR_PRST`.
462
463    .. member:: int             es_send_prst
464
465       If set to true value, the library will send Public Reset packets
466       in response to incoming packets with unknown Connection IDs.
467
468       The default is :macro:`LSQUIC_DF_SEND_PRST`.
469
470    .. member:: unsigned        es_progress_check
471
472       A non-zero value enables internal checks that identify suspected
473       infinite loops in user `on_read` and `on_write` callbacks
474       and break them.  An infinite loop may occur if user code keeps
475       on performing the same operation without checking status, e.g.
476       reading from a closed stream etc.
477
478       The value of this parameter is as follows: should a callback return
479       this number of times in a row without making progress (that is,
480       reading, writing, or changing stream state), loop break will occur.
481
482       The defaut value is :macro:`LSQUIC_DF_PROGRESS_CHECK`.
483
484    .. member:: int             es_rw_once
485
486       A non-zero value make stream dispatch its read-write events once
487       per call.
488
489       When zero, read and write events are dispatched until the stream
490       is no longer readable or writeable, respectively, or until the
491       user signals unwillingness to read or write using
492       :func:`lsquic_stream_wantread()` or :func:`lsquic_stream_wantwrite()`
493       or shuts down the stream.
494
495       The default value is :macro:`LSQUIC_DF_RW_ONCE`.
496
497    .. member:: unsigned        es_proc_time_thresh
498
499       If set, this value specifies the number of microseconds that
500       :func:`lsquic_engine_process_conns()` and
501       :func:`lsquic_engine_send_unsent_packets()` are allowed to spend

805To initialize the settings structure to library defaults, use the following
806convenience function:
807
808.. function:: lsquic_engine_init_settings (struct lsquic_engine_settings *, unsigned flags)
809
810    ``flags`` is a bitmask of ``LSENG_SERVER`` and ``LSENG_HTTP``
811
812After doing this, change just the settings you'd like.  To check whether
813the values are correct, another convenience function is provided:
814
815.. function:: lsquic_engine_check_settings (const struct lsquic_engine_settings *, unsigned flags, char *err_buf, size_t err_buf_sz)
816
817    Check settings for errors.  Return 0 if settings are OK, -1 otherwise.
818
819    If `err_buf` and `err_buf_sz` are set, an error string is written to the
820    buffers.
821
822The following macros in :file:`lsquic.h` specify default values:

1006    By default, do not use no-progress timeout on the client.
1007
1008.. macro:: LSQUIC_DF_GREASE_QUIC_BIT
1009
1010    By default, greasing the QUIC bit is enabled (if peer sent
1011    the "grease_quic_bit" transport parameter).
1012
1013Receiving Packets
1014-----------------
1015
1016Incoming packets are supplied to the engine using :func:`lsquic_engine_packet_in()`.
1017It is up to the engine to decide what do to with the packet.  It can find an existing
1018connection and dispatch the packet there, create a new connection (in server mode), or
1019schedule a version negotiation or stateless reset packet.
1020
1021.. function:: int lsquic_engine_packet_in (lsquic_engine_t *engine, const unsigned char *data, size_t size, const struct sockaddr *local, const struct sockaddr *peer, void *peer_ctx, int ecn)
1022
1023    Pass incoming packet to the QUIC engine.  This function can be called
1024    more than once in a row.  After you add one or more packets, call
1025    :func:`lsquic_engine_process_conns()` to schedule outgoing packets, if any.
1026
1027    :param engine: Engine instance.
1028    :param data: Pointer to UDP datagram payload.
1029    :param size: Size of UDP datagram.
1030    :param local: Local address.
1031    :param peer: Peer address.
1032    :param peer_ctx: Peer context.
1033    :param ecn: ECN marking associated with this UDP datagram.
1034
1035    :return:
1036
1037        - ``0``: Packet was processed by a real connection.
1038        - ``1``: Packet was handled successfully, but not by a connection.
1039          This may happen with version negotiation and public reset
1040          packets as well as some packets that may be ignored.
1041        - ``-1``: Some error occurred.  Possible reasons are invalid packet
1042          size or failure to allocate memory.
1043
1044.. function:: int lsquic_engine_earliest_adv_tick (lsquic_engine_t *engine, int *diff)
1045
1046    Returns true if there are connections to be processed, false otherwise.
1047
1048    :param engine:
1049
1050        Engine instance.
1051
1052    :param diff:
1053
1054        If the function returns a true value, the pointed to integer is set to the
1055        difference between the earliest advisory tick time and now.
1056        If the former is in the past, this difference is negative.
1057
1058    :return:
1059
1060        True if there are connections to be processed, false otherwise.
1061
1062Sending Packets
1063---------------
1064
1065User specifies a callback :type:`lsquic_packets_out_f` in :type:`lsquic_engine_api`
1066that the library uses to send packets.
1067
1068.. type:: struct lsquic_out_spec
1069
1070    This structure describes an outgoing packet.
1071
1072    .. member:: struct iovec          *iov
1073
1074        A vector with payload.
1075
1076    .. member:: size_t                 iovlen
1077
1078        Vector length.
1079
1080    .. member:: const struct sockaddr *local_sa
1081
1082        Local address.
1083
1084    .. member:: const struct sockaddr *dest_sa
1085
1086        Destination address.
1087
1088    .. member:: void                  *peer_ctx
1089
1090        Peer context associated with the local address.
1091
1092    .. member:: int                    ecn
1093
1094        ECN: Valid values are 0 - 3. See :rfc:`3168`.
1095
1096        ECN may be set by IETF QUIC connections if ``es_ecn`` is set.
1097
1098.. type:: typedef int (*lsquic_packets_out_f)(void *packets_out_ctx, const struct lsquic_out_spec  *out_spec, unsigned n_packets_out)
1099
1100    Returns number of packets successfully sent out or -1 on error.  -1 should
1101    only be returned if no packets were sent out.  If -1 is returned or if the
1102    return value is smaller than ``n_packets_out``, this indicates that sending
1103    of packets is not possible.
1104
1105    If not all packets could be sent out, then:
1106
1107        - errno is examined.  If it is not EAGAIN or EWOULDBLOCK, the connection
1108          whose packet caused the error is closed forthwith.
1109        - No packets are attempted to be sent out until :func:`lsquic_engine_send_unsent_packets()`
1110          is called.
1111
1112.. function:: void lsquic_engine_process_conns (lsquic_engine_t *engine)
1113
1114    Process tickable connections.  This function must be called often enough so
1115    that packets and connections do not expire.  The preferred method of doing
1116    so is by using :func:`lsquic_engine_earliest_adv_tick()`.
1117
1118.. function:: int lsquic_engine_has_unsent_packets (lsquic_engine_t *engine)
1119
1120    Returns true if engine has some unsent packets.  This happens if
1121    :member:`lsquic_engine_api.ea_packets_out` could not send everything out
1122    or if processing deadline was exceeded (see
1123    :member:`lsquic_engine_settings.es_proc_time_thresh`).
1124
1125.. function:: void lsquic_engine_send_unsent_packets (lsquic_engine_t *engine)
1126
1127    Send out as many unsent packets as possibe: until we are out of unsent
1128    packets or until ``ea_packets_out()`` fails.
1129
1130    If ``ea_packets_out()`` cannot send all packets, this function must be
1131    called to signify that sending of packets is possible again.
1132
1133Stream Callback Interface
1134-------------------------
1135
1136The stream callback interface structure lists the callbacks used by
1137the engine to communicate with the user code:
1138
1139.. type:: struct lsquic_stream_if
1140
1141    .. member:: lsquic_conn_ctx_t *(*on_new_conn)(void *stream_if_ctx, lsquic_conn_t *)
1142
1143        Called when a new connection has been created.  In server mode,
1144        this means that the handshake has been successful.  In client mode,
1145        on the other hand, this callback is called as soon as connection
1146        object is created inside the engine, but before the handshake is
1147        done.
1148
1149        The return value is the connection context associated with this
1150        connection.  Use :func:`lsquic_conn_get_ctx()` to get back this
1151        context.  It is OK for this function to return NULL.
1152
1153        This callback is mandatory.
1154
1155    .. member:: void (*on_conn_closed)(lsquic_conn_t *)
1156
1157        Connection is closed.
1158
1159        This callback is mandatory.
1160
1161    .. member:: lsquic_stream_ctx_t * (*on_new_stream)(void *stream_if_ctx, lsquic_stream_t *)
1162
1163        If you need to initiate a connection, call lsquic_conn_make_stream().
1164        This will cause `on_new_stream` callback to be called when appropriate
1165        (this operation is delayed when maximum number of outgoing streams is
1166        reached).
1167
1168        If connection is going away, this callback may be called with the
1169        second parameter set to NULL.
1170
1171        The return value is the stream context associated with the stream.
1172        A pointer to it is passed to `on_read()`, `on_write()`, and `on_close()`
1173        callbacks.  It is OK for this function to return NULL.
1174
1175        This callback is mandatory.
1176
1177    .. member:: void (*on_read)     (lsquic_stream_t *s, lsquic_stream_ctx_t *h)
1178
1179        Stream is readable: either there are bytes to be read or an error
1180        is ready to be collected.
1181
1182        This callback is mandatory.
1183
1184    .. member:: void (*on_write)    (lsquic_stream_t *s, lsquic_stream_ctx_t *h)
1185
1186        Stream is writeable.
1187
1188        This callback is mandatory.
1189
1190    .. member:: void (*on_close)    (lsquic_stream_t *s, lsquic_stream_ctx_t *h)
1191
1192        After this callback returns, the stream is no longer accessible.  This is
1193        a good time to clean up the stream context.
1194
1195        This callback is mandatory.
1196
1197    .. member:: void (*on_hsk_done)(lsquic_conn_t *c, enum lsquic_hsk_status s)
1198
1199        When handshake is completed, this callback is called.
1200
1201        This callback is optional.
1202
1203    .. member:: void (*on_goaway_received)(lsquic_conn_t *)
1204
1205        This is called when our side received GOAWAY frame.  After this,
1206        new streams should not be created.
1207
1208        This callback is optional.
1209
1210    .. member:: void (*on_new_token)(lsquic_conn_t *c, const unsigned char *token, size_t token_size)
1211
1212        When client receives a token in NEW_TOKEN frame, this callback is called.
1213
1214        This callback is optional.
1215
1216    .. member:: void (*on_sess_resume_info)(lsquic_conn_t *c, const unsigned char *, size_t)
1217
1218        This callback lets client record information needed to
1219        perform session resumption next time around.
1220
1221        This callback is optional.
1222
1223Creating Connections
1224--------------------
1225
1226In server mode, the connections are created by the library based on incoming
1227packets.  After handshake is completed, the library calls :member:`lsquic_stream_if.on_new_conn`
1228callback.
1229
1230In client mode, a new connection is created by
1231
1232.. function:: lsquic_conn_t * lsquic_engine_connect (lsquic_engine_t *engine, enum lsquic_version version, const struct sockaddr *local_sa, const struct sockaddr *peer_sa, void *peer_ctx, lsquic_conn_ctx_t *conn_ctx, const char *sni, unsigned short base_plpmtu, const unsigned char *sess_resume, size_t sess_resume_len, const unsigned char *token, size_t token_sz)
1233
1234    :param engine: Engine to use.
1235
1236    :param version:
1237
1238        To let the engine specify QUIC version, use N_LSQVER.  If session resumption
1239        information is supplied, version is picked from there instead.
1240
1241    :param local_sa:
1242
1243        Local address.
1244
1245    :param peer_sa:
1246
1247        Address of the server.
1248
1249    :param peer_ctx:
1250
1251        Context associated with the peer.  This is what gets passed to TODO.
1252
1253    :param conn_ctx:
1254
1255        Connection context can be set early using this parameter.  Useful if
1256        you need the connection context to be available in `on_conn_new()`.
1257        Note that that callback's return value replaces the connection
1258        context set here.
1259
1260    :param sni:
1261
1262        The SNI is required for Google QUIC connections; it is optional for
1263        IETF QUIC and may be set to NULL.
1264
1265    :param base_plpmtu:
1266
1267        Base PLPMTU.  If set to zero, it is selected based on the
1268        engine settings (see
1269        :member:`lsquic_engine_settings.es_base_plpmtu`),
1270        QUIC version, and IP version.
1271
1272    :param sess_resume:
1273
1274        Pointer to previously saved session resumption data needed for
1275        TLS resumption.  May be NULL.
1276
1277    :param sess_resume_len:
1278
1279        Size of session resumption data.
1280
1281    :param token:
1282
1283        Pointer to previously received token to include in the Initial
1284        packet.  Tokens are used by IETF QUIC to pre-validate client
1285        connections, potentially avoiding a retry.
1286
1287        See :member:`lsquic_stream_if.on_new_token` callback.
1288
1289        May be NULL.
1290
1291    :param token_sz:
1292
1293        Size of data pointed to by ``token``.
1294
1295Closing Connections
1296-------------------
1297
1298.. function:: void lsquic_conn_going_away (lsquic_conn_t *conn)
1299
1300    Mark connection as going away: send GOAWAY frame and do not accept
1301    any more incoming streams, nor generate streams of our own.
1302
1303    Only applicable to HTTP/3 and GQUIC connections.  Otherwise a no-op.
1304
1305.. function:: void lsquic_conn_close (lsquic_conn_t *conn)
1306
1307    This closes the connection.  :member:`lsquic_stream_if.on_conn_closed`
1308    and :member:`lsquic_stream_if.on_close` callbacks will be called.
1309
1310Creating Streams
1311----------------
1312
1313Similar to connections, streams are created by the library in server mode; they
1314correspond to requests.  In client mode, a new stream is created by
1315
1316.. function:: void lsquic_conn_make_stream (lsquic_conn_t *)
1317
1318    Create a new request stream.  This causes :member:`on_new_stream()` callback
1319    to be called.  If creating more requests is not permitted at the moment
1320    (due to number of concurrent streams limit), stream creation is registered
1321    as "pending" and the stream is created later when number of streams dips
1322    under the limit again.  Any number of pending streams can be created.
1323    Use :func:`lsquic_conn_n_pending_streams()` and
1324    :func:`lsquic_conn_cancel_pending_streams()` to manage pending streams.
1325
1326    If connection is going away, :func:`on_new_stream()` is called with the
1327    stream parameter set to NULL.
1328
1329Stream Events
1330-------------
1331
1332To register or unregister an interest in a read or write event, use the
1333following functions:
1334
1335.. function:: int lsquic_stream_wantread (lsquic_stream_t *stream, int want)
1336
1337    :param stream: Stream to read from.
1338    :param want: Boolean value indicating whether the caller wants to read
1339                 from stream.
1340    :return: Previous value of ``want`` or ``-1`` if the stream has already
1341             been closed for reading.
1342
1343    A stream becomes readable if there is was an error: for example, the
1344    peer may have reset the stream.  In this case, reading from the stream
1345    will return an error.
1346
1347.. function:: int lsquic_stream_wantwrite (lsquic_stream_t *stream, int want)
1348
1349    :param stream: Stream to write to.
1350    :param want: Boolean value indicating whether the caller wants to write
1351                 to stream.
1352    :return: Previous value of ``want`` or ``-1`` if the stream has already
1353             been closed for writing.
1354
1355Reading From Streams
1356--------------------
1357
1358.. function:: ssize_t lsquic_stream_read (lsquic_stream_t *stream, unsigned char *buf, size_t sz)
1359
1360    :param stream: Stream to read from.
1361    :param buf: Buffer to copy data to.
1362    :param sz: Size of the buffer.
1363    :return: Number of bytes read, zero if EOS has been reached, or -1 on error.
1364
1365    Read up to ``sz`` bytes from ``stream`` into buffer ``buf``.
1366
1367    ``-1`` is returned on error, in which case ``errno`` is set:
1368
1369    - ``EBADF``: The stream is closed.
1370    - ``ECONNRESET``: The stream has been reset.
1371    - ``EWOULDBLOCK``: There is no data to be read.
1372
1373.. function:: ssize_t lsquic_stream_readv (lsquic_stream_t *stream, const struct iovec *vec, int iovcnt)
1374
1375    :param stream: Stream to read from.
1376    :param vec: Array of ``iovec`` structures.
1377    :param iovcnt: Number of elements in ``vec``.
1378    :return: Number of bytes read, zero if EOS has been reached, or -1 on error.
1379
1380    Similar to :func:`lsquic_stream_read()`, but reads data into a vector.
1381
1382.. function:: ssize_t lsquic_stream_readf (lsquic_stream_t *stream, size_t (*readf)(void *ctx, const unsigned char *buf, size_t len, int fin), void *ctx)
1383
1384    :param stream: Stream to read from.
1385
1386    :param readf:
1387
1388        The callback takes four parameters:
1389
1390        - Pointer to user-supplied context;
1391        - Pointer to the data;
1392        - Data size (can be zero); and
1393        - Indicator whether the FIN follows the data.
1394
1395        The callback returns number of bytes processed.  If this number is zero
1396        or is smaller than ``len``, reading from stream stops.
1397
1398    :param ctx: Context pointer passed to ``readf``.
1399
1400    This function allows user-supplied callback to read the stream contents.
1401    It is meant to be used for zero-copy stream processing.
1402
1403    Return value and errors are same as in :func:`lsquic_stream_read()`.
1404
1405Writing To Streams
1406------------------
1407
1408.. function:: ssize_t lsquic_stream_write (lsquic_stream_t *stream, const void *buf, size_t len)
1409
1410    :param stream: Stream to write to.
1411    :param buf: Buffer to copy data from.
1412    :param len: Number of bytes to copy.
1413    :return: Number of bytes written -- which may be smaller than ``len`` -- or a negative
1414             value when an error occurs.
1415
1416    Write ``len`` bytes to the stream.  Returns number of bytes written, which
1417    may be smaller that ``len``.
1418
1419    A negative return value indicates a serious error (the library is likely
1420    to have aborted the connection because of it).
1421
1422.. function:: ssize_t lsquic_stream_writev (lsquic_stream_t *s, const struct iovec *vec, int count)
1423
1424    Like :func:`lsquic_stream_write()`, but read data from a vector.
1425
1426.. type:: struct lsquic_reader
1427
1428    Used as argument to :func:`lsquic_stream_writef()`.
1429
1430    .. member:: size_t (*lsqr_read) (void *lsqr_ctx, void *buf, size_t count)
1431
1432        :param lsqr_ctx: Pointer to user-specified context.
1433        :param buf: Memory location to write to.
1434        :param count: Size of available memory pointed to by ``buf``.
1435        :return:
1436
1437            Number of bytes written.  This is not a ``ssize_t`` because
1438            the read function is not supposed to return an error.  If an error
1439            occurs in the read function (for example, when reading from a file
1440            fails), it is supposed to deal with the error itself.
1441
1442    .. member:: size_t (*lsqr_size) (void *lsqr_ctx)
1443
1444        Return number of bytes remaining in the reader.
1445
1446    .. member:: void    *lsqr_ctx
1447
1448        Context pointer passed both to ``lsqr_read()`` and to ``lsqr_size()``.
1449
1450.. function:: ssize_t lsquic_stream_writef (lsquic_stream_t *stream, struct lsquic_reader *reader)
1451
1452    :param stream: Stream to write to.
1453    :param reader: Reader to read from.
1454    :return: Number of bytes written or -1 on error.
1455
1456    Write to stream using :type:`lsquic_reader`.  This is the most generic of
1457    the write functions -- :func:`lsquic_stream_write()` and
1458    :func:`lsquic_stream_writev()` utilize the same mechanism.
1459
1460.. function:: int lsquic_stream_flush (lsquic_stream_t *stream)
1461
1462    :param stream: Stream to flush.
1463    :return: 0 on success and -1 on failure.
1464
1465    Flush any buffered data.  This triggers packetizing even a single byte
1466    into a separate frame.  Flushing a closed stream is an error.
1467
1468Closing Streams
1469---------------
1470
1471Streams can be closed for reading, writing, or both.
1472``on_close()`` callback is called at some point after a stream is closed
1473for both reading and writing,
1474
1475.. function:: int lsquic_stream_shutdown (lsquic_stream_t *stream, int how)
1476
1477    :param stream: Stream to shut down.
1478    :param how:
1479
1480        This parameter specifies what do to.  Allowed values are:
1481
1482        - 0: Stop reading.
1483        - 1: Stop writing.
1484        - 2: Stop both reading and writing.
1485
1486    :return: 0 on success or -1 on failure.
1487
1488.. function:: int lsquic_stream_close (lsquic_stream_t *stream)
1489
1490    :param stream: Stream to close.
1491    :return: 0 on success or -1 on failure.
1492
1493Sending HTTP Headers
1494--------------------
1495
1496.. type:: struct lsxpack_header
1497
1498This type is defined in _lsxpack_header.h_.  See that header file for
1499more information.

1560
1561        Number of headers in ``headers``.
1562

1565        Pointer to an array of HTTP headers.
1566
1567    HTTP header list structure.  Contains a list of HTTP headers.
1568

1570
1571    :param stream:

1583
1584    :return:
1585
1586        0 on success or -1 on error.
1587
1588Receiving HTTP Headers
1589----------------------
1590
1591If ``ea_hsi_if`` is not set in :type:`lsquic_engine_api`, the library will translate
1592HPACK- and QPACK-encoded headers into HTTP/1.x-like headers and prepend them to the
1593stream.  To the stream-reading function, it will look as if a standard HTTP/1.x
1594message.
1595
1596Alternatively, you can specify header-processing set of functions and manage header
1597fields yourself.  In that case, the header set must be "read" from the stream via
1598:func:`lsquic_stream_get_hset()`.
1599
1600.. type:: struct lsquic_hset_if
1601
1602    .. member::  void * (*hsi_create_header_set)(void *hsi_ctx, lsquic_stream_t *stream, int is_push_promise)
1603
1604        :param hsi_ctx: User context.  This is the pointer specifed in ``ea_hsi_ctx``.
1605        :param stream: Stream with which the header set is associated.  May be set
1606                       to NULL in server mode.
1607        :param is_push_promise: Boolean value indicating whether this header set is
1608                                for a push promise.
1609        :return: Pointer to user-defined header set object.
1610
1611        Create a new header set.  This object is (and must be) fetched from a
1612        stream by calling :func:`lsquic_stream_get_hset()` before the stream can
1613        be read.
1614
1615    .. member:: struct lsxpack_header * (*hsi_prepare_decode)(void *hdr_set, struct lsxpack_header *hdr, size_t space)
1616
1617        Return a header set prepared for decoding.  If ``hdr`` is NULL, this
1618        means return a new structure with at least ``space`` bytes available
1619        in the decoder buffer.  On success, a newly prepared header is
1620        returned.
1621
1622        If ``hdr`` is not NULL, it means there was not enough decoder buffer
1623        and it must be increased to at least ``space`` bytes.  ``buf``, ``val_len``,
1624        and ``name_offset`` member of the ``hdr`` structure may change.  On
1625        success, the return value is the same as ``hdr``.
1626
1627        If NULL is returned, the space cannot be allocated.
1628
1629    .. member:: int (*hsi_process_header)(void *hdr_set, struct lsxpack_header *hdr)
1630
1631        Process new header.
1632
1633        :param hdr_set:
1634
1635            Header set to add the new header field to.  This is the object
1636            returned by ``hsi_create_header_set()``.
1637
1638        :param hdr:
1639
1640            The header returned by @ref ``hsi_prepare_decode()``.
1641
1642        :return:
1643
1644            Return 0 on success, a positive value if a header error occured,
1645            or a negative value on any other error.  A positive return value
1646            will result in cancellation of associated stream. A negative return
1647            value will result in connection being aborted.
1648
1649    .. member:: void                (*hsi_discard_header_set)(void *hdr_set)
1650
1651        :param hdr_set: Header set to discard.
1652
1653        Discard header set.  This is called for unclaimed header sets and
1654        header sets that had an error.
1655
1656    .. member:: enum lsquic_hsi_flag hsi_flags
1657
1658        These flags specify properties of decoded headers passed to
1659        ``hsi_process_header()``.  This is only applicable to QPACK headers;
1660        HPACK library header properties are based on compilation, not
1661        run-time, options.
1662
1663.. function:: void * lsquic_stream_get_hset (lsquic_stream_t *stream)
1664
1665    :param stream: Stream to fetch header set from.
1666
1667    :return: Header set associated with the stream.
1668
1669    Get header set associated with the stream.  The header set is created by
1670    ``hsi_create_header_set()`` callback.  After this call, the ownership of
1671    the header set is transferred to the caller.
1672
1673    This call must precede calls to :func:`lsquic_stream_read()`,
1674    :func:`lsquic_stream_readv()`, and :func:`lsquic_stream_readf()`.
1675
1676    If the optional header set interface is not specified,
1677    this function returns NULL.
1678
1679Push Promises
1680-------------
1681
1682.. function:: int lsquic_conn_push_stream (lsquic_conn_t *conn, void *hdr_set, lsquic_stream_t *stream, const lsquic_http_headers_t *headers)
1683
1684    :return:
1685
1686        - 0: Stream pushed successfully.
1687        - 1: Stream push failed because it is disabled or because we hit
1688             stream limit or connection is going away.
1689        - -1: Stream push failed because of an internal error.
1690
1691    A server may push a stream.  This call creates a new stream in reference
1692    to stream ``stream``.  It will behave as if the client made a request: it will
1693    trigger ``on_new_stream()`` event and it can be used as a regular client-initiated stream.
1694
1695    ``hdr_set`` must be set.  It is passed as-is to :func:`lsquic_stream_get_hset()`.
1696
1697.. function:: int lsquic_conn_is_push_enabled (lsquic_conn_t *conn)
1698
1699    :return: Boolean value indicating whether push promises are enabled.
1700
1701    Only makes sense in server mode: the client cannot push a stream and this
1702    function always returns false in client mode.
1703
1704.. function:: int lsquic_stream_is_pushed (const lsquic_stream_t *stream)
1705
1706    :return: Boolean value indicating whether this is a pushed stream.
1707
1708.. function:: int lsquic_stream_refuse_push (lsquic_stream_t *stream)
1709
1710    Refuse pushed stream.  Call it from ``on_new_stream()``.  No need to
1711    call :func:`lsquic_stream_close()` after this.  ``on_close()`` will be called.
1712
1713.. function:: int lsquic_stream_push_info (const lsquic_stream_t *stream, lsquic_stream_id_t *ref_stream_id, void **hdr_set)
1714
1715    Get information associated with pushed stream
1716
1717    :param ref_stream_id: Stream ID in response to which push promise was sent.
1718    :param hdr_set: Header set. This object was passed to or generated by :func:`lsquic_conn_push_stream()`.
1719
1720    :return: 0 on success and -1 if this is not a pushed stream.
1721
1722Stream Priorities
1723-----------------
1724
1725.. function:: unsigned lsquic_stream_priority (const lsquic_stream_t *stream)
1726
1727    Return current priority of the stream.
1728
1729.. function:: int lsquic_stream_set_priority (lsquic_stream_t *stream, unsigned priority)
1730
1731    Set stream priority.  Valid priority values are 1 through 256, inclusive.
1732    Lower value means higher priority.
1733
1734    :return: 0 on success of -1 on failure (this happens if priority value is invalid).
1735

1859
1860        :return: 0 on success, -1 on failure.
1861
1862        If inserted successfully, ``free()`` will be called on ``data`` and ``key``
1863        pointer when the element is deleted, whether due to expiration
1864        or explicit deletion.

1899
1900         The implementation may choose to copy the object into buffer pointed
1901         to by ``data``, so you should have it ready.
1902
1903.. type:: struct lsquic_packout_mem_if
1904
1905    The packet out memory interface is used by LSQUIC to get buffers to
1906    which outgoing packets will be written before they are passed to
1907    :member:`lsquic_engine_api.ea_packets_out` callback.
