       SSL_get_fd - Get file descriptor linked to an SSL object

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <openssl/ssl.h>

       int SSL_get_fd(
               SSL *ssl ); int SSL_get_rfd(
               SSL *ssl ); int SSL_get_wfd(
               SSL *ssl );

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  SSL_get_fd()  function  returns  the  file descriptor
       which  is   linked   to   ssl.   The   SSL_get_rfd()   and
       SSL_get_wfd()  functions  return  the file descriptors for
       the read or the write channel, which can be different.  If
       the   read  and  the  write  channel  are  different,  the
       SSL_get_fd() function will return the file  descriptor  of
       the read channel.
