=head1 NAME

SSL_get_stream_id, SSL_get_stream_type, SSL_STREAM_TYPE_NONE,
SSL_STREAM_TYPE_READ, SSL_STREAM_TYPE_WRITE, SSL_STREAM_TYPE_BIDI - get QUIC
stream ID and stream type information

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/ssl.h>

 uint64_t SSL_get_stream_id(SSL *ssl);

 #define SSL_STREAM_TYPE_NONE
 #define SSL_STREAM_TYPE_BIDI
 #define SSL_STREAM_TYPE_READ
 #define SSL_STREAM_TYPE_WRITE
 int SSL_get_stream_type(SSL *ssl);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The SSL_get_stream_id() function returns the QUIC stream ID for a QUIC stream
SSL object, or for a QUIC connection SSL object which has a default stream
attached.

The SSL_get_stream_type() function identifies what operations can be performed
on the stream, and returns one of the following values:

=over 4

=item B<SSL_STREAM_TYPE_NONE>

The SSL object is a QUIC connection SSL object without a default stream
attached.

=item B<SSL_STREAM_TYPE_BIDI>

The SSL object is a non-QUIC SSL object, or is a QUIC stream object (or QUIC
connection SSL object with a default stream attached), and that stream is a
bidirectional QUIC stream.

=item B<SSL_STREAM_TYPE_READ>

The SSL object is a QUIC stream object (or QUIC connection SSL object with a
default stream attached), and that stream is a unidirectional QUIC stream which
was initiated by the remote peer; thus, it can be read from, but not written to.

=item B<SSL_STREAM_TYPE_WRITE>

The SSL object is a QUIC stream object (or QUIC connection SSL object with a
default stream attached), and that stream is a unidirectional QUIC stream which
was initiated by the local application; thus, it can be written to, but not read
from.

=head1 NOTES

While QUICv1 assigns specific meaning to the low two bits of a QUIC stream ID,
QUIC stream IDs in future versions of QUIC are not required to have the same
semantics. Do not determine stream properties using these bits. Instead, use
SSL_get_stream_type() to determine the stream type.

The SSL_get_stream_type() identifies the type of a QUIC stream based on its
identity, and does not indicate whether an operation can currently be
successfully performed on a stream. For example, you might locally initiate a
unidirectional stream, write to it, and then conclude the stream using
L<SSL_stream_conclude(3)>, meaning that it can no longer be written to, but
SSL_get_stream_type() would still return B<SSL_STREAM_TYPE_WRITE>. The value
returned by SSL_get_stream_type() does not vary over the lifespan of a stream.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

SSL_get_stream_id() returns a QUIC stream ID, or B<UINT64_MAX> if called on an
SSL object which is not a QUIC SSL object, or if called on a QUIC connection SSL
object without a default stream attached. Note that valid QUIC stream IDs are
always below 2**62.

SSL_get_stream_type() returns one of the B<SSL_STREAM_TYPE> values.

L<SSL_new_stream(3)>, L<SSL_accept_stream(3)>

=head1 HISTORY

These functions were added in OpenSSL 3.2.
