== NAME
nng_tls_config_alloc - allocate TLS configuration object
== SYNOPSIS
[source, c]
----
#include <nng/nng.h>
#include <nng/supplemental/tls/tls.h>
typedef enum nng_tls_mode {
NNG_TLS_MODE_CLIENT,
NNG_TLS_MODE_SERVER
} nng_tls_mode;
int nng_tls_config_alloc(nng_tls_config **cfgp, nng_tls_mode mode);
----
== DESCRIPTION
The `nng_tls_config_alloc()` function creates a newly initialized
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5246[Transport Layer Security])
configuration object, and stores a pointer to it in the value pointed
to by _cfgp_.
This object is initialized for use when acting as either a
client (`NNG_TLS_MODE_CLIENT`) or as a server (`NNG_TLS_MODE_SERVER`),
depending on the value of _mode_.
A TLS object can be further modified by functions that set the security
keys used, peer certificates, protocol policies, and so forth.
A single TLS configuration object can be used with multiple TLS streams
or services.
The underlying system uses reference counting to ensure
that object is not inadvertently freed while in use.
A configuration object created with `nng_tls_config_alloc()` starts
with a reference count of one.
The reference count may be incremented using
xref:nng_tls_config_hold.3tls.adoc[`nng_tls_config_hold()`] and may be
decremented with
xref:nng_tls_config_free.3tls.adoc[`nng_tls_config_free()`].
Also note that a TLS configuration object becomes read-only after it
is first used with a service.
After this points, attempts to apply
further changes to the configuration will result in `NNG_EBUSY`.
== RETURN VALUES
This function returns 0 on success, and non-zero otherwise.
== ERRORS
[horizontal]
`NNG_ENOMEM`:: Insufficient memory is available.
`NNG_EINVAL`:: An invalid _mode_ was specified.
