NAME

6       SSL_state_string, SSL_state_string_long - get textual description of
7       state of an SSL object
8

SYNOPSIS

10        #include <openssl/ssl.h>
11
12        const char *SSL_state_string(const SSL *ssl);
13        const char *SSL_state_string_long(const SSL *ssl);
14

DESCRIPTION

16       SSL_state_string() returns a 6 letter string indicating the current
17       state of the SSL object ssl.
18
19       SSL_state_string_long() returns a string indicating the current state
20       of the SSL object ssl.
21

NOTES

23       During its use, an SSL objects passes several states. The state is
24       internally maintained. Querying the state information is not very
25       informative before or when a connection has been established. It
26       however can be of significant interest during the handshake.
27
28       When using non-blocking sockets, the function call performing the
29       handshake may return with SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ or SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE
30       condition, so that SSL_state_string[_long]() may be called.
31
32       For both blocking or non-blocking sockets, the details state
33       information can be used within the info_callback function set with the
34       SSL_set_info_callback() call.
