DESCRIPTION

       SSL_CTX_set1_groups() sets the supported groups for ctx to glistlen groups in the array
       glist. The array consist of all NIDs of groups in preference order. For a TLS client the
       groups are used directly in the supported groups extension. For a TLS server the groups
       are used to determine the set of shared groups.

       SSL_CTX_set1_groups_list() sets the supported groups for ctx to string list. The string is
       a colon separated list of group NIDs or names, for example "P-521:P-384:P-256".

       SSL_set1_groups() and SSL_set1_groups_list() are similar except they set supported groups
       for the SSL structure ssl.

       SSL_get1_groups() returns the set of supported groups sent by a client in the supported
       groups extension. It returns the total number of supported groups. The groups parameter
       can be NULL to simply return the number of groups for memory allocation purposes. The
       groups array is in the form of a set of group NIDs in preference order. It can return zero
       if the client did not send a supported groups extension.

       SSL_get_shared_group() returns shared group n for a server-side SSL ssl. If n is -1 then
       the total number of shared groups is returned, which may be zero. Other than for
       diagnostic purposes, most applications will only be interested in the first shared group
       so n is normally set to zero. If the value n is out of range, NID_undef is returned.

       All these functions are implemented as macros.

       The curve functions are synonyms for the equivalently named group functions and are
       identical in every respect. They exist because, prior to TLS1.3, there was only the
       concept of supported curves. In TLS1.3 this was renamed to supported groups, and extended
       to include Diffie Hellman groups. The group functions should be used in preference.

NOTES

       If an application wishes to make use of several of these functions for configuration
       purposes either on a command line or in a file it should consider using the SSL_CONF
       interface instead of manually parsing options.

RETURN VALUES

       SSL_CTX_set1_groups(), SSL_CTX_set1_groups_list(), SSL_set1_groups() and
       SSL_set1_groups_list(), return 1 for success and 0 for failure.

       SSL_get1_groups() returns the number of groups, which may be zero.

       SSL_get_shared_group() returns the NID of shared group n or NID_undef if there is no
       shared group n; or the total number of shared groups if n is -1.

       When called on a client ssl, SSL_get_shared_group() has no meaning and returns -1.

HISTORY

       The curve functions were first added to OpenSSL 1.0.2. The equivalent group functions were
       first added to OpenSSL 1.1.1.
