NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       SSL_rstate_string, SSL_rstate_string_long - get textual
       description of state of an SSL object during read operation

LIBRARY    [Toc]    [Back]

       libcrypto, -lcrypto

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

        #include <openssl/ssl.h>

        char *SSL_rstate_string(SSL *ssl);
        char *SSL_rstate_string_long(SSL *ssl);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       SSL_rstate_string() returns a 2 letter string indicating
       the current read state of the SSL object ssl.

       SSL_rstate_string_long() returns a string indicating the
       current read state of the SSL object ssl.

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

       When performing a read operation, the SSL/TLS engine must
       parse the record, consisting of header and body. When
       working in a blocking environment,
       SSL_rstate_string[_long]() should always return "RD"/"read
       done".

       This function should only seldom be needed in applications.

RETURN VALUES    [Toc]    [Back]

       SSL_rstate_string() and SSL_rstate_string_long() can
       return the following values:

       ""RH""/""read header""
           The header of the record is being evaluated.

       ""RB""/""read body""
           The body of the record is being evaluated.

       ""RD""/""read done""
           The record has been completely processed.

       ""unknown""/""unknown""
           The read state is unknown. This should never happen.
