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>

      const char *SSL_state_string(const SSL *ssl);
      const char *SSL_state_string_long(const SSL *ssl);

DESCRIPTION

     SSL_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.
