SSL_state_string(3) OpenSSL SSL_state_string(3)NAME
SSL_state_string, SSL_state_string_long - get textual
description of state of an SSL object
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
char *SSL_state_string(SSL *ssl);
char *SSL_state_string_long(SSL *ssl);
DESCRIPTIONSSL_state_string() returns a 6 letter string indicating
the current state of the SSL object ssl.
SSL_state_string_long() returns a string indicating the
current state of the SSL object ssl.
NOTES
During its use, an SSL objects passes several states. The
state is internally maintained. Querying the state
information is not very informative before or when a
connection has been established. It however can be of
significant interest during the handshake.
When using non-blocking sockets, the function call
performing the handshake may return with
SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ or SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE condition, so
that SSL_state_string[_long]() may be called.
For both blocking or non-blocking sockets, the details
state information can be used within the info_callback
function set with the SSL_set_info_callback() call.
RETURN VALUES
Detailed description of possible states to be included
later.
