.. Set up some character translations and predefined strings. \*(-- will
give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left
double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. \*(C+ will
give a nicer C++. Capital omega is used to do unbreakable dashes and
therefore won't be available. \*(C` and \*(C' expand to `' in nroff,
nothing in troff, for use with C<>.

Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is >0, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

Title "SSL_ACCEPT 3"
SSL_ACCEPT 3 "2021-12-14" "1.1.1m" "OpenSSL"
For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
"NAME"
SSL_accept - wait for a TLS/SSL client to initiate a TLS/SSL handshake
"SYNOPSIS"
Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/ssl.h> \& int SSL_accept(SSL *ssl); .Ve
"DESCRIPTION"
Header "DESCRIPTION" \fBSSL_accept() waits for a \s-1TLS/SSL\s0 client to initiate the \s-1TLS/SSL\s0 handshake. The communication channel must already have been set and assigned to the \fBssl by setting an underlying \s-1BIO\s0.
"NOTES"
Header "NOTES" The behaviour of SSL_accept() depends on the underlying \s-1BIO.\s0

If the underlying \s-1BIO\s0 is blocking, SSL_accept() will only return once the handshake has been finished or an error occurred.

If the underlying \s-1BIO\s0 is nonblocking, SSL_accept() will also return when the underlying \s-1BIO\s0 could not satisfy the needs of SSL_accept() to continue the handshake, indicating the problem by the return value -1. In this case a call to SSL_get_error() with the return value of SSL_accept() will yield \s-1SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ\s0 or \fB\s-1SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE\s0. The calling process then must repeat the call after taking appropriate action to satisfy the needs of SSL_accept(). The action depends on the underlying \s-1BIO.\s0 When using a nonblocking socket, nothing is to be done, but select() can be used to check for the required condition. When using a buffering \s-1BIO,\s0 like a \s-1BIO\s0 pair, data must be written into or retrieved out of the \s-1BIO\s0 before being able to continue.

"RETURN VALUES"
Header "RETURN VALUES" The following return values can occur:
"0" 4
The \s-1TLS/SSL\s0 handshake was not successful but was shut down controlled and by the specifications of the \s-1TLS/SSL\s0 protocol. Call SSL_get_error() with the return value ret to find out the reason.
"1" 4
Item "1" The \s-1TLS/SSL\s0 handshake was successfully completed, a \s-1TLS/SSL\s0 connection has been established.
"<0" 4
Item "<0" The \s-1TLS/SSL\s0 handshake was not successful because a fatal error occurred either at the protocol level or a connection failure occurred. The shutdown was not clean. It can also occur if action is needed to continue the operation for nonblocking BIOs. Call SSL_get_error() with the return value ret to find out the reason.
