=head1 DESCRIPTION

SSL_CTX_set_record_padding_callback() or SSL_set_record_padding_callback()
can be used to assign a callback function I<cb> to specify the padding
for TLS 1.3 records. The value set in B<ctx> is copied to a new SSL by SSL_new().
Kernel TLS is not possible if the record padding callback is set, and the callback
function cannot be set if Kernel TLS is already configured for the current SSL object.

SSL_CTX_set_record_padding_callback_arg() and SSL_set_record_padding_callback_arg()
assign a value B<arg> that is passed to the callback when it is invoked. The value
set in B<ctx> is copied to a new SSL by SSL_new().

SSL_CTX_get_record_padding_callback_arg() and SSL_get_record_padding_callback_arg()
retrieve the B<arg> value that is passed to the callback.

SSL_CTX_set_block_padding() and SSL_set_block_padding() pads the record to a multiple
of the B<block_size>. A B<block_size> of 0 or 1 disables block padding. The limit of
B<block_size> is SSL3_RT_MAX_PLAIN_LENGTH.

The callback is invoked for every record before encryption.
The B<type> parameter is the TLS record type that is being processed; may be
one of SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, SSL3_RT_HANDSHAKE, or SSL3_RT_ALERT.
The B<len> parameter is the current plaintext length of the record before encryption.
The B<arg> parameter is the value set via SSL_CTX_set_record_padding_callback_arg()
or SSL_set_record_padding_callback_arg().

=head1 RETURN VALUES

The SSL_CTX_get_record_padding_callback_arg() and SSL_get_record_padding_callback_arg()
functions return the B<arg> value assigned in the corresponding set functions.

The SSL_CTX_set_block_padding() and SSL_set_block_padding() functions return 1 on success
or 0 if B<block_size> is too large.

The B<cb> returns the number of padding bytes to add to the record. A return of 0
indicates no padding will be added. A return value that causes the record to
exceed the maximum record size (SSL3_RT_MAX_PLAIN_LENGTH) will pad out to the
maximum record size.

The SSL_CTX_get_record_padding_callback_arg() function returns 1 on success or 0 if
the callback function is not set because Kernel TLS is configured for the SSL object.

=head1 NOTES

The default behavior is to add no padding to the record.

A user-supplied padding callback function will override the behavior set by
SSL_set_block_padding() or SSL_CTX_set_block_padding(). Setting the user-supplied
callback to NULL will restore the configured block padding behavior.

These functions only apply to TLS 1.3 records being written.

Padding bytes are not added in constant-time.

=head1 HISTORY

The record padding API was added for TLS 1.3 support in OpenSSL 1.1.1.

The return type of SSL_CTX_set_record_padding_callback() function was
changed to int in OpenSSL 3.0.
