Member Function Documentation

is_fatal()

bool Botan::TLS::Alert::is_fatal ( ) const

inline

Returns

if this alert is fatal or not

Note: RFC 8446 6. In TLS 1.3, the severity is implicit in the type of alert being sent, and the "level" field can safely be ignored. Everything is considered fatal except for UserCanceled and CloseNotify (RFC 8446 6.1)

Definition at line 88 of file tls_alert.h.

{ return m_fatal; }

is_valid()

bool Botan::TLS::Alert::is_valid ( ) const

inline

Returns

true iff this alert is non-empty

Definition at line 77 of file tls_alert.h.

{ return (m_type_code != AlertType::None); }
