=head1 NAME

nbd_set_tls - enable or require TLS (authentication and encryption)

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <libnbd.h>

 int nbd_set_tls (
       struct nbd_handle *h, int tls
     );

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Enable or require TLS
(authenticated and encrypted connections) to the
NBD server.  The possible settings are:

=over 4

=item C<LIBNBD_TLS_DISABLE>

Disable TLS.  (The default setting, unless using L<nbd_connect_uri(3)> with
a URI that requires TLS).

This setting is also necessary if you use L<nbd_set_opt_mode(3)>
and want to interact in plaintext with a server that implements
the NBD protocol's C<SELECTIVETLS> mode, prior to enabling TLS
with L<nbd_opt_starttls(3)>.  Most NBD servers with TLS support
prefer the NBD protocol's C<FORCEDTLS> mode, so this sort of
manual interaction tends to be useful mainly during integration
testing.

=item C<LIBNBD_TLS_ALLOW>

Enable TLS if possible.

This option is insecure (or best effort) in that in some cases
it will fall back to an unencrypted and/or unauthenticated
connection if TLS could not be established.  Use
C<LIBNBD_TLS_REQUIRE> below if the connection must be
encrypted.

Some servers will drop the connection if TLS fails
so fallback may not be possible.

=item C<LIBNBD_TLS_REQUIRE>

Require an encrypted and authenticated TLS connection.
Always fail to connect if the connection is not encrypted
and authenticated.

=back

As well as calling this you may also need to supply
the path to the certificates directory (L<nbd_set_tls_certificates(3)>),
the username (L<nbd_set_tls_username(3)>) and/or
the Pre-Shared Keys (PSK) file (L<nbd_set_tls_psk_file(3)>).  For now,
when using L<nbd_connect_uri(3)>, any URI query parameters related to
TLS are not handled automatically.  Setting the level higher than
zero will fail if libnbd was not compiled against gnutls; you can
test whether this is the case with L<nbd_supports_tls(3)>.

=head1 RETURN VALUE

If the call is successful the function returns C<0>.

=head1 ERRORS

On error C<-1> is returned.

Refer to L<libnbd(3)/ERROR HANDLING>
for how to get further details of the error.

The following parameters must not be NULL: C<h>.
For more information see L<libnbd(3)/Non-NULL parameters>.

=head1 HANDLE STATE

nbd_set_tls
can be called when the handle is in the following state:

 ┌─────────────────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────┐
 │ Handle created, before connecting   │ ✅ allowed              │
 │ Connecting                          │ ❌ error                │
 │ Connecting & handshaking (opt_mode) │ ❌ error                │
 │ Connected to the server             │ ❌ error                │
 │ Connection shut down                │ ❌ error                │
 │ Handle dead                         │ ❌ error                │
 └─────────────────────────────────────┴─────────────────────────┘

=head1 VERSION

This function first appeared in libnbd 1.0.

If you need to test if this function is available at compile time
check if the following macro is defined:

 #define LIBNBD_HAVE_NBD_SET_TLS 1

=head1 EXAMPLE

This example is also available as F<examples/encryption.c>
in the libnbd source code.

 /* An example showing how to connect to a server which is
  * using TLS encryption.
  *
  * This requires nbdkit, and psktool from gnutls.
  *
  * Both libnbd and nbdkit support TLS-PSK which is a
  * simpler-to-deploy form of encryption.  (Of course
  * certificate-based encryption is also supported, but
  * it’s harder to make a self-contained example).
