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(SSL *ssl);
        const char *SSL_state_string_long(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 per-
       forming 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.
