=head1 NAME
OSSL_trace_enabled, OSSL_trace_begin, OSSL_trace_end
- OpenSSL Tracing API
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/trace.h>
int OSSL_trace_enabled(int category);
BIO *OSSL_trace_begin(int category);
void OSSL_trace_end(int category, BIO *channel);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The functions described here are mainly interesting for those who provide
OpenSSL functionality, either in OpenSSL itself or in engine modules
or similar.
If operational (see L</NOTES> below), these functions are used to
generate free text tracing output.
The tracing output is divided into types which are enabled
individually by the application.
The tracing types are described in detail in
L<OSSL_trace_set_callback(3)/Trace types>.
The fallback type C<OSSL_TRACE_CATEGORY_ANY> should I<not> be used
with the functions described here.
=head2 Functions
OSSL_trace_enabled() can be used to check if tracing for the given
C<category> is enabled.
OSSL_trace_begin() is used to starts a tracing section, and get the
channel for the given C<category> in form of a BIO.
This BIO can only be used for output.
OSSL_trace_end() is used to end a tracing section.
Using OSSL_trace_begin() and OSSL_trace_end() to wrap tracing sections
is I<mandatory>.
The result of trying to produce tracing output outside of such
sections is undefined.
=head2 Convenience Macros
There are a number of convenience macros defined, to make tracing
easy and consistent.
C<OSSL_TRACE_BEGIN(category)> and C<OSSL_TRACE_END(category)> reserve
the B<BIO> C<trc_out> and are used as follows to wrap a trace section:
OSSL_TRACE_BEGIN(TLS) {
BIO_fprintf(trc_out, ... );
} OSSL_TRACE_END(TLS);
This will normally expands to:
do {
BIO *trc_out = OSSL_trace_begin(OSSL_TRACE_CATEGORY_TLS);
if (trc_out != NULL) {
...
BIO_fprintf(trc_out, ...);
}
OSSL_trace_end(OSSL_TRACE_CATEGORY_TLS, trc_out);
} while (0);
C<OSSL_TRACE_CANCEL(category)> must be used before returning from or
jumping out of a trace section:
OSSL_TRACE_BEGIN(TLS) {
if (condition) {
OSSL_TRACE_CANCEL(TLS);
goto err;
}
BIO_fprintf(trc_out, ... );
} OSSL_TRACE_END(TLS);
This will normally expand to:
do {
BIO *trc_out = OSSL_trace_begin(OSSL_TRACE_CATEGORY_TLS);
if (trc_out != NULL) {
if (condition) {
OSSL_trace_end(OSSL_TRACE_CATEGORY_TLS, trc_out);
goto err;
}
BIO_fprintf(trc_out, ... );
}
OSSL_trace_end(OSSL_TRACE_CATEGORY_TLS, trc_out);
} while (0);
=head1 NOTES
It is advisable to always check that a trace type is enabled with
OSSL_trace_enabled() before generating any output, for example:
if (OSSL_trace_enabled(OSSL_TRACE_CATEGORY_TLS)) {
BIO *trace = OSSL_trace_begin(OSSL_TRACE_CATEGORY_TLS);
BIO_printf(trace, "FOO %d\n", somevalue);
BIO_dump(trace, somememory, somememory_l);
OSSL_trace_end(OSSL_TRACE_CATEGORY_TLS, trace);
}
=head2 Tracing disabled
The OpenSSL library may be built with tracing disabled, which makes
everything documented here inoperational.
When the library is built with tracing disabled:
=over 4
=item *
The macro C<OPENSSL_NO_TRACE> is defined in C<openssl/opensslconf.h>.
=item *
all functions are still present, bu OSSL_trace_enabled() will always
report the categories as disabled, and all other functions will do
nothing.
=item *
the convenience macros are defined to produce dead code.
For example, take this example from L</Convenience Macros> above:
OSSL_TRACE_BEGIN(TLS) {
if (condition) {
OSSL_TRACE_CANCEL(TLS);
goto err;
}
BIO_fprintf(trc_out, ... );
} OSSL_TRACE_END(TLS);
When the tracing API isn't operational, that will expand to:
do {
BIO *trc_out = NULL;
if (0) {
if (condition) {
((void)0);
goto err;
}
BIO_fprintf(trc_out, ... );
}
} while (0);
=back
=head1 RETURN VALUES
OSSL_trace_enabled() returns 1 if tracing for the given B<type> is
operational and enabled, otherwise 0.
OSSL_trace_begin() returns a C<BIO *> if the given B<type> is enabled,
otherwise C<NULL>.
=head1 HISTORY
The OpenSSL Tracing API was added ino OpenSSL 3.0.0.

=head1 NAME
OSSL_trace_set_channel, OSSL_trace_set_prefix, OSSL_trace_set_suffix,
OSSL_trace_set_callback, OSSL_trace_cb - Enabling trace output
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/trace.h>
typedef size_t (*OSSL_trace_cb)(const char *buf, size_t cnt,
int category, int cmd, void *data);
void OSSL_trace_set_channel(int category, BIO *bio);
void OSSL_trace_set_prefix(int category, const char *prefix);
void OSSL_trace_set_suffix(int category, const char *suffix);
void OSSL_trace_set_callback(int category, OSSL_trace_cb cb, void *data);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
If available (see L</NOTES> below), the application can request
internal trace output.
This output comes in form of free text for humans to read.
The trace output is divided into categories which can be
enabled individually.
They are enabled by giving them a channel in form of a BIO, or a
tracer callback, which is responsible for performing the actual
output.
=head2 Functions
OSSL_trace_set_channel() is used to enable the given trace C<category>
by giving it the B<BIO> C<bio>.
OSSL_trace_set_prefix() and OSSL_trace_set_suffix() can be used to add
an extra line for each channel, to be output before and after group of
tracing output.
What constitues an output group is decided by the code that produces
the output.
The lines given here are considered immutable; for more dynamic
tracing prefixes, consider setting a callback with
OSSL_trace_set_callback() instead.
OSSL_trace_set_callback() is used to enable the given trace
C<category> by giving it the tracer callback C<cb> with the associated
data C<data>, which will simply be passed through to C<cb> whenever
it's called.
This should be used when it's desirable to do form the trace output to
something suitable for application needs where a prefix and suffix
line aren't enough.
OSSL_trace_set_channel() and OSSL_trace_set_callback() are mutually
exclusive, calling one of them will clear whatever was set by the
previous call.
Calling OSSL_trace_set_channel() with C<NULL> for C<channel> or
OSSL_trace_set_callback() with C<NULL> for C<cb> disables tracing for
the given C<category>
=head2 Trace callback
The tracer callback must return a C<size_t>, which must be zero on
error and otherwise return the number of bytes that were output.
It receives a text buffer C<buf> with C<cnt> bytes of text, as well as
the C<category>, a control number C<cmd>, and the C<data> that was
passed to OSSL_trace_set_callback().
The possible control numbers are:
=over 4
=item C<OSSL_TRACE_CTRL_BEGIN>
The callback is called from OSSL_trace_begin(), which gives the
callback the possibility to output a dynamic starting line, or set a
prefix that should be output at the beginning of each line, or
something other.
=item C<OSSL_TRACE_CTRL_DURING>
The callback is called from any regular BIO output routine.
=item C<OSSL_TRACE_CTRL_END>
The callback is called from OSSL_trace_end(), which gives the callback
the possibility to output a dynamic ending line, or reset the line
prefix that was set with OSSL_TRACE_CTRL_BEGIN, or something other.
=back
=head2 Trace categories
The trace categories are simple numbers available through macros.
=over 4
=item C<OSSL_TRACE_CATEGORY_TRACE>
Traces the OpenSSL trace API itself.
More precisely, this will generate trace output any time a new
trace hook is set.
=item C<OSSL_TRACE_CATEGORY_INIT>
Traces OpenSSL library initialization and cleanup.
This needs special care, as OpenSSL will do automatic cleanup after
exit from C<main()>, and any tracing output done during this cleanup
will be lost if the tracing channel or callback were cleaned away
prematurely.
A suggestion is to make such cleanup part of a function that's
registered very early with L<atexit(3)>.
=item C<OSSL_TRACE_CATEGORY_TLS>
Traces the TLS/SSL protocoll.
=item C<OSSL_TRACE_CATEGORY_TLS_CIPHER>
Traces the ciphers used by the TLS/SSL protocoll.
=item C<OSSL_TRACE_CATEGORY_ENGINE_CONF>
Traces the ENGINE configuration.
=item C<OSSL_TRACE_CATEGORY_ENGINE_TABLE>
Traces the ENGINE algorithm table selection.
More precisely, engine_table_select(), the function that is used by
RSA, DSA (etc) code to select registered ENGINEs, cache defaults and
functional references (etc), will generate trace summaries.
=item C<OSSL_TRACE_CATEGORY_ENGINE_REF_COUNT>
Tracds the ENGINE reference counting.
More precisely, both reference counts in the ENGINE structure will be
monitored with a line of trace output generated for each change.
=item C<OSSL_TRACE_CATEGORY_PKCS5V2>
Traces PKCS#5 v2 key generation.
=item C<OSSL_TRACE_CATEGORY_PKCS12_KEYGEN>
Traces PKCS#12 key generation.
=item C<OSSL_TRACE_CATEGORY_PKCS12_DECRYPT>
Traces PKCS#12 decryption.
=item C<OSSL_TRACE_CATEGORY_X509V3_POLICY>
Traces X509v3 policy processing.
More precisely, this generates the complete policy tree at various
point during evaluation.
=item C<OSSL_TRACE_CATEGORY_BN_CTX>
Traces BIGNUM context operations.
=back
There is also C<OSSL_TRACE_CATEGORY_ANY>, which works as a fallback
and can be used to get I<all> trace output.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
OSSL_trace_set_channel(), OSSL_trace_set_prefix(),
OSSL_trace_set_suffix(), and OSSL_trace_set_callback() return 1 on
success, or 0 on failure.
=head1 EXAMPLES
In all examples below, we assume that the trace producing code is
this:
int foo = 42;
const char bar[] = { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,
8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 };
OSSL_TRACE_BEGIN(TLS) {
BIO_puts(trc_out, "foo: ");
BIO_printf(trc_out, "%d\n", foo);
BIO_dump(trc_out, bar, sizeof(bar));
} OSSL_TRACE_END(TLS);
=head1 Simple example
An example with just a channel and constant prefix / suffix.
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
BIO *err = BIO_new_fp(stderr, BIO_NOCLOSE | BIO_FP_TEXT);
OSSL_trace_set_channel(OSSL_TRACE_CATEGORY_SSL, err);
OSSL_trace_set_prefix(OSSL_TRACE_CATEGORY_SSL, "BEGIN TRACE[TLS]");
OSSL_trace_set_suffix(OSSL_TRACE_CATEGORY_SSL, "END TRACE[TLS]");
/* ... work ... */
}
When the trace producing code above is performed, this will be output
on standard error:
BEGIN TRACE[TLS]
foo: 42
0000 - 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07-08 09 0a 0b 0c 0d 0e 0f ................
END TRACE[TLS]
=head2 Advanced example
This example uses the callback, and depends on pthreads functionality.
static size_t cb(const char *buf, size_t cnt,
int category, int cmd, void *vdata)
{
BIO *bio = vdata;
const char *label = NULL;
switch (cmd) {
case OSSL_TRACE_CTRL_BEGIN:
label = "BEGIN";
break;
case OSSL_TRACE_CTRL_END:
label = "END";
break;
}
if (label != NULL) {
union {
pthread_t tid;
unsigned long ltid;
} tid;
tid.tid = pthread_self();
BIO_printf(bio, "%s TRACE[%s]:%lx\n",
label, OSSL_trace_get_category_name(category), tid.ltid);
}
return (size_t)BIO_puts(bio, buf);
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
BIO *err = BIO_new_fp(stderr, BIO_NOCLOSE | BIO_FP_TEXT);
OSSL_trace_set_callback(OSSL_TRACE_CATEGORY_SSL, cb, err);
/* ... work ... */
}
The output is almost the same as for the simple example above.
BEGIN TRACE[TLS]:7f9eb0193b80
foo: 42
0000 - 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07-08 09 0a 0b 0c 0d 0e 0f ................
END TRACE[TLS]:7f9eb0193b80
