OpenSSL SSL_state_string(3openssl) NAME SSL_state_string, SSL_state_string_long - get textual description of state of an SSL object SYNOPSIS #include <openssl/ssl.h> const char *SSL_state_string(const SSL *ssl); const char *SSL_state_string_long(const SSL *ssl); DESCRIPTION SSL_state_string() returns a 6 letter string indicating the current state of the SSL object ssl. SSL_state_string_long() returns a string indicating the current state of the SSL object ssl. ATTRIBUTES See attributes(7) for descriptions of the following attributes: +---------------+--------------------------+ |ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +---------------+--------------------------+ |Availability | library/security/openssl | +---------------+--------------------------+ |Stability | Pass-through uncommitted | +---------------+--------------------------+ NOTES During its use, an SSL objects passes several states. The state is internally maintained. Querying the state information is not very informative before or when a connection has been established. It however can be of significant interest during the handshake. When using non-blocking sockets, the function call performing the handshake may return with SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ or SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE condition, so that SSL_state_string[_long]() may be called. For both blocking or non-blocking sockets, the details state information can be used within the info_callback function set with the SSL_set_info_callback() call.
