14 #ifndef OPENSSL_NO_SOCK
15 int BIO_socket_wait(int fd, int for_read, time_t max_time);

17 int BIO_wait(BIO *bio, time_t max_time, unsigned int nap_milliseconds);
18 int BIO_do_connect_retry(BIO *bio, int timeout, int nap_milliseconds);

20=head1 DESCRIPTION
21
22BIO_socket_wait() waits on the socket B<fd> for reading if B<for_read> is not 0,
23else for writing, at most until B<max_time>.
24It succeeds immediately if B<max_time> == 0 (which means no timeout given).
25
26BIO_wait() waits at most until B<max_time> on the given (typically socket-based)
27B<bio>, for reading if B<bio> is supposed to read, else for writing.
28It is used by BIO_do_connect_retry() and can be used together L<BIO_read(3)>.
29It succeeds immediately if B<max_time> == 0 (which means no timeout given).
30If sockets are not available it supports polling by succeeding after sleeping
31at most the given B<nap_milliseconds> in order to avoid a tight busy loop.
32Via B<nap_milliseconds> the caller determines the polling granularity.
33
34BIO_do_connect_retry() connects via the given B<bio>.
35It retries BIO_do_connect() as far as needed to reach a definite outcome,
36i.e., connection succeeded, timeout has been reached, or an error occurred.
37For nonblocking and potentially even non-socket BIOs it polls
38every B<nap_milliseconds> and sleeps in between using BIO_wait().
39If B<nap_milliseconds> is < 0 then a default value of 100 ms is used.
40If the B<timeout> parameter is > 0 this indicates the maximum number of seconds
41to wait until the connection is established or a definite error occurred.
42A value of 0 enables waiting indefinitely (i.e, no timeout),
43while a value < 0 means that BIO_do_connect() is tried only once.
44The function may, directly or indirectly, invoke ERR_clear_error().
