21
22=head1 DESCRIPTION
23
24SSL_want() returns state information for the SSL object B<ssl>.
25
26The other SSL_want_*() calls are shortcuts for the possible states returned
27by SSL_want().
28
29=head1 NOTES
30
31SSL_want() examines the internal state information of the SSL object. Its
32return values are similar to that of L<SSL_get_error(3)>.
33Unlike L<SSL_get_error(3)>, which also evaluates the
34error queue, the results are obtained by examining an internal state flag
35only. The information must therefore only be used for normal operation under
36nonblocking I/O. Error conditions are not handled and must be treated
37using L<SSL_get_error(3)>.
38
39The result returned by SSL_want() should always be consistent with
40the result of L<SSL_get_error(3)>.
41
42=head1 RETURN VALUES
43
44The following return values can currently occur for SSL_want():
45
46=over 4
47
48=item SSL_NOTHING
49
50There is no data to be written or to be read.
51
52=item SSL_WRITING
53
54There are data in the SSL buffer that must be written to the underlying
55B<BIO> layer in order to complete the actual SSL_*() operation.
56A call to L<SSL_get_error(3)> should return
57SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE.
58
59=item SSL_READING
60
61More data must be read from the underlying B<BIO> layer in order to
62complete the actual SSL_*() operation.
63A call to L<SSL_get_error(3)> should return
64SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ.
65
66=item SSL_X509_LOOKUP
67
68The operation did not complete because an application callback set by
69SSL_CTX_set_client_cert_cb() has asked to be called again.
70A call to L<SSL_get_error(3)> should return
71SSL_ERROR_WANT_X509_LOOKUP.
72
73=item SSL_ASYNC_PAUSED
74
75An asynchronous operation partially completed and was then paused. See
76L<SSL_get_all_async_fds(3)>. A call to L<SSL_get_error(3)> should return
77SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC.
78
79=item SSL_ASYNC_NO_JOBS
80
81The asynchronous job could not be started because there were no async jobs
82available in the pool (see ASYNC_init_thread(3)). A call to L<SSL_get_error(3)>
83should return SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC_JOB.
84
85=item SSL_CLIENT_HELLO_CB
86
87The operation did not complete because an application callback set by
88SSL_CTX_set_client_hello_cb() has asked to be called again.
89A call to L<SSL_get_error(3)> should return
90SSL_ERROR_WANT_CLIENT_HELLO_CB.
91
92=back
93
94SSL_want_nothing(), SSL_want_read(), SSL_want_write(), SSL_want_x509_lookup(),
95SSL_want_async(), SSL_want_async_job(), and SSL_want_client_hello_cb() return
961, when the corresponding condition is true or 0 otherwise.

102=head1 HISTORY
103
104The SSL_want_client_hello_cb() function and the SSL_CLIENT_HELLO_CB return value
105were added in OpenSSL 1.1.1.
