7=head1 SYNOPSIS
8
9 #include <openssl/ssl.h>
10
11 typedef struct ssl_stream_reset_args_st {
12     uint64_t quic_error_code;
13 } SSL_STREAM_RESET_ARGS;
14
15 int SSL_stream_reset(SSL *ssl,
16                      const SSL_STREAM_RESET_ARGS *args,
17                      size_t args_len);
18
19=head1 DESCRIPTION
20
21The SSL_stream_reset() function resets the send part of a QUIC stream when
22called on a QUIC stream SSL object, or on a QUIC connection SSL object with  a
23default stream attached.
24
25If I<args> is non-NULL, I<args_len> must be set to C<sizeof(*args)>.
26
27I<quic_error_code> is an application-specified error code, which must be in the
28range [0, 2**62-1]. If I<args> is NULL, a value of 0 is used.
29
30Resetting a stream indicates to an application that the sending part of the
31stream is terminating abnormally. When a stream is reset, the implementation
32does not guarantee that any data already passed to L<SSL_write(3)> will be
33received by the peer, and data already passed to L<SSL_write(3)> but not yet
34transmitted may or may not be discarded. As such, you should only reset
35a stream when the information transmitted on the stream no longer matters, for
36example due to an error condition.
37
38This function cannot be called on a unidirectional stream initiated by the peer,
39as only the sending side of a stream can initiate a stream reset.
40
41It is also possible to trigger a stream reset by calling L<SSL_free(3)>; see the
42documentation for L<SSL_free(3)> for details.
43
44The receiving part of the stream (for bidirectional streams) continues to
45function normally.
46
47=head1 NOTES
48
49This function corresponds to the QUIC B<RESET_STREAM> frame.
50
51=head1 RETURN VALUES
52
53Returns 1 on success and 0 on failure.
54
55This function fails if called on a QUIC connection SSL object without a default
56stream attached, or on a non-QUIC SSL object.
57
58After the first call to this function succeeds for a given stream,
59subsequent calls succeed but are ignored. The application error code
60used is that passed to the first successful call to this function.
