SSL_rstate_string(3SSL)                      OpenSSL                      SSL_rstate_string(3SSL)



NAME
       SSL_rstate_string, SSL_rstate_string_long - get textual description of state of an SSL
       object during read operation

SYNOPSIS
        #include <openssl/ssl.h>

        const char *SSL_rstate_string(SSL *ssl);
        const char *SSL_rstate_string_long(SSL *ssl);

DESCRIPTION
       SSL_rstate_string() returns a 2 letter string indicating the current read state of the SSL
       object ssl.

       SSL_rstate_string_long() returns a string indicating the current read state of the SSL
       object ssl.

NOTES
       When performing a read operation, the SSL/TLS engine must parse the record, consisting of
       header and body. When working in a blocking environment, SSL_rstate_string[_long]() should
       always return "RD"/"read done".

       This function should only seldom be needed in applications.

RETURN VALUES
       SSL_rstate_string() and SSL_rstate_string_long() can return the following values:

       "RH"/"read header"
           The header of the record is being evaluated.

       "RB"/"read body"
           The body of the record is being evaluated.

       "RD"/"read done"
           The record has been completely processed.

       "unknown"/"unknown"
           The read state is unknown. This should never happen.
