SSL_set_fd(3)               OpenSSL               SSL_set_fd(3)





NAME
       SSL_set_fd - connect the SSL object with a file descrip-
       tor

SYNOPSIS
        #include <openssl/ssl.h>

        int SSL_set_fd(SSL *ssl, int fd);
        int SSL_set_rfd(SSL *ssl, int fd);
        int SSL_set_wfd(SSL *ssl, int fd);

DESCRIPTION
       SSL_set_fd() sets the file descriptor fd as the
       input/output facility for the TLS/SSL (encrypted) side
       of ssl. fd will typically be the socket file descriptor
       of a network connection.

       When performing the operation, a socket BIO is automati-
       cally created to interface between the ssl and fd. The
       BIO and hence the SSL engine inherit the behaviour of
       fd. If fd is non-blocking, the ssl will also have non-
       blocking behaviour.

       If there was already a BIO connected to ssl, BIO_free()
       will be called (for both the reading and writing side,
       if different).

       SSL_set_rfd() and SSL_set_wfd() perform the respective
       action, but only for the read channel or the write chan-
       nel, which can be set independently.

RETURN VALUES
       The following return values can occur:

       o   The operation failed. Check the error stack to find
           out why.

       1   The operation succeeded.
