=head1 NAME

SSL_stream_reset - reset a QUIC stream

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/ssl.h>

 typedef struct ssl_stream_reset_args_st {
     uint64_t quic_error_code;
 } SSL_STREAM_RESET_ARGS;

 int SSL_stream_reset(SSL *ssl,
                      const SSL_STREAM_RESET_ARGS *args,
                      size_t args_len);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The SSL_stream_reset() function resets the send part of a QUIC stream when
called on a QUIC stream SSL object, or on a QUIC connection SSL object with  a
default stream attached.

If I<args> is non-NULL, I<args_len> must be set to C<sizeof(*args)>.

I<quic_error_code> is an application-specified error code, which must be in the
range [0, 2**62-1]. If I<args> is NULL, a value of 0 is used.

Resetting a stream indicates to an application that the sending part of the
stream is terminating abnormally. When a stream is reset, the implementation
does not guarantee that any data already passed to L<SSL_write(3)> will be
received by the peer, and data already passed to L<SSL_write(3)> but not yet
transmitted may or may not be discarded. As such, you should only reset
a stream when the information transmitted on the stream no longer matters, for
example due to an error condition.

This function cannot be called on a unidirectional stream initiated by the peer,
as only the sending side of a stream can initiate a stream reset.

It is also possible to trigger a stream reset by calling L<SSL_free(3)>; see the
documentation for L<SSL_free(3)> for details.

The receiving part of the stream (for bidirectional streams) continues to
function normally.

=head1 NOTES

This function corresponds to the QUIC B<RESET_STREAM> frame.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

Returns 1 on success and 0 on failure.

This function fails if called on a QUIC connection SSL object without a default
stream attached, or on a non-QUIC SSL object.

After the first call to this function succeeds for a given stream,
subsequent calls succeed but are ignored. The application error code
used is that passed to the first successful call to this function.

=head1 HISTORY

SSL_stream_reset() was added in OpenSSL 3.2.
