[erlang-questions] Force TLS v1.2

[WW]

Thank you for your answer Kostis.
But will erlang crash if any other internal function call this internal function with an argument of integer() or someother term()?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ###=====================================================================###
 -spec convert_result_and_exit(any()) -> no_return().
 %%% 
 ###=====================================================================###
convert_result_and_exit({error, ErrReason}) when is_binary(ErrReason)-> 
exit({error, ErrReason}); convert_result_and_exit(no_permission)-> exit(no_permission).

test() ->    convert_result_and_exit ( [1,2,3] ).     ( It is a use case , why "so they cannot be with any() as argument" ?  Where in the erlang doc defined that?)

In this case, test() will crash owing to missing the convert_result_and_exit(_E) -> exit({error, <<"Unknown reason">>}).   I do not want it crash, I need a quiet exit (catch it afterwards)instead, will that be possible ?----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The question is : Why dialyzer could not detect the internal non-exported spec ?  Or Erlang module interal function should not have any spec at all , because dialyzer doesn't care?
Is it  the limitation of dialyzer or  wrong in the design? What is the best solution, in my situation?

Yes, you are.

The function is not exported; all calls to it are from within the module 
(i.e., known to dialyzer), so they cannot be with any() as argument; 
they can only be with the term types that dialyzer has inferred.
