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

98SSL_want_x509_lookup(), SSL_want_retry_verify(),
99SSL_want_async(), SSL_want_async_job(), and SSL_want_client_hello_cb()
100return 1 when the corresponding condition is true or 0 otherwise.

108The SSL_want_client_hello_cb() function and the SSL_CLIENT_HELLO_CB return value
109were added in OpenSSL 1.1.1.
