NAME

       SSL_want, SSL_want_nothing, SSL_want_read, SSL_want_write, SSL_want_x509_lookup, SSL_want_async,
       SSL_want_async_job, SSL_want_client_hello_cb - obtain state information TLS/SSL I/O operation

SYNOPSIS

        #include <openssl/ssl.h>

        int SSL_want(const SSL *ssl);
        int SSL_want_nothing(const SSL *ssl);
        int SSL_want_read(const SSL *ssl);
        int SSL_want_write(const SSL *ssl);
        int SSL_want_x509_lookup(const SSL *ssl);
        int SSL_want_async(const SSL *ssl);
        int SSL_want_async_job(const SSL *ssl);
        int SSL_want_client_hello_cb(const SSL *ssl);

DESCRIPTION

       SSL_want() returns state information for the SSL object ssl.

       The other SSL_want_*() calls are shortcuts for the possible states returned by SSL_want().

NOTES

       SSL_want() examines the internal state information of the SSL object. Its return values are similar to
       that of SSL_get_error(3).  Unlike SSL_get_error(3), which also evaluates the error queue, the results are
       obtained by examining an internal state flag only. The information must therefore only be used for normal
       operation under non-blocking I/O. Error conditions are not handled and must be treated using
       SSL_get_error(3).

       The result returned by SSL_want() should always be consistent with the result of SSL_get_error(3).

RETURN VALUES

       The following return values can currently occur for SSL_want():

       SSL_NOTHING
           There is no data to be written or to be read.

       SSL_WRITING
           There  are  data  in  the  SSL  buffer  that  must be written to the underlying BIO layer in order to
           complete   the   actual   SSL_*()   operation.    A   call   to   SSL_get_error(3)   should    return
           SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE.

       SSL_READING
           More  data  must  be  read  from  the  underlying  BIO  layer in order to complete the actual SSL_*()
           operation.  A call to SSL_get_error(3) should return SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ.

       SSL_X509_LOOKUP
           The operation did not complete because an application callback  set  by  SSL_CTX_set_client_cert_cb()
           has asked to be called again.  A call to SSL_get_error(3) should return SSL_ERROR_WANT_X509_LOOKUP.

       SSL_ASYNC_PAUSED
           An  asynchronous  operation  partially completed and was then paused. See SSL_get_all_async_fds(3). A
           call to SSL_get_error(3) should return SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC.

       SSL_ASYNC_NO_JOBS
           The asynchronous job could not be started because there were no async jobs available in the pool (see
           ASYNC_init_thread(3)). A call to SSL_get_error(3) should return SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC_JOB.

       SSL_CLIENT_HELLO_CB
           The operation did not complete because an application callback set  by  SSL_CTX_set_client_hello_cb()
           has    asked    to    be    called    again.     A    call    to   SSL_get_error(3)   should   return
           SSL_ERROR_WANT_CLIENT_HELLO_CB.

       SSL_want_nothing(),   SSL_want_read(),   SSL_want_write(),   SSL_want_x509_lookup(),    SSL_want_async(),
       SSL_want_async_job(),  and  SSL_want_client_hello_cb() return 1, when the corresponding condition is true
       or 0 otherwise.

HISTORY

       The SSL_want_client_hello_cb() function and the SSL_CLIENT_HELLO_CB return value were  added  in  OpenSSL
       1.1.1.
