SSL_get_peer_addr - obtain the peer address of a QUIC connection
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
int SSL_get_peer_addr(SSL *ssl, BIO_ADDR *peer_addr);
SSL_get_peer_addr() retrieves the peer address of a QUIC connection and stores
it into the BIO_ADDR structure pointed to by peer_addr. The caller must
supply a valid BIO_ADDR object which will be filled in on success.
This function is only meaningful when called on an SSL object which represents a QUIC connection or stream. It is not valid for non-QUIC SSL objects.
The peer address identifies the remote endpoint of a QUIC connection. For UDP
sockets used by QUIC, the kernel does not maintain a connected peer in the same
sense as for TCP. Instead, the peer address is tracked in the QUIC connection
state. SSL_get_peer_addr() provides a way to obtain this address information
from OpenSSL.
The BIO_ADDR type is an OpenSSL abstraction which can represent both IPv4 and IPv6 socket addresses. Applications can get the address family via the BIO_ADDR(3) API.
SSL_get_peer_addr() returns 1 on success. On failure, or if called on an SSL
object which is not a QUIC SSL object, 0 is returned and peer_addr is left
unchanged.
