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(const SSL *ssl);
const char *SSL_state_string_long(const SSL *ssl);
DESCRIPTIONSSL_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 informa-
tion 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 perform-
ing 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.
