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.
