61.Sh SYNOPSIS
62.In openssl/ssl.h
63.Ft int
64.Fn SSL_want "const SSL *ssl"
65.Ft int
66.Fn SSL_want_nothing "const SSL *ssl"
67.Ft int
68.Fn SSL_want_read "const SSL *ssl"
69.Ft int
70.Fn SSL_want_write "const SSL *ssl"
71.Ft int
72.Fn SSL_want_x509_lookup "const SSL *ssl"
73.Sh DESCRIPTION
74.Fn SSL_want
75returns state information for the
76.Vt SSL
77object
78.Fa ssl .
79.Pp
80The other
81.Fn SSL_want_*
82calls are shortcuts for the possible states returned by
83.Fn SSL_want .
84.Pp
85.Fn SSL_want
86examines the internal state information of the
87.Vt SSL
88object.
89Its return values are similar to those of
90.Xr SSL_get_error 3 .
91Unlike
92.Xr SSL_get_error 3 ,
93which also evaluates the error queue,
94the results are obtained by examining an internal state flag only.
95The information must therefore only be used for normal operation under
96non-blocking I/O.
97Error conditions are not handled and must be treated using
98.Xr SSL_get_error 3 .
99.Pp
100The result returned by
101.Fn SSL_want
102should always be consistent with the result of
103.Xr SSL_get_error 3 .
104.Sh RETURN VALUES
105The following return values can currently occur for
106.Fn SSL_want :
107.Bl -tag -width Ds
108.It Dv SSL_NOTHING
109There is no data to be written or to be read.
110.It Dv SSL_WRITING
111There are data in the SSL buffer that must be written to the underlying
112.Vt BIO
113layer in order to complete the actual
114.Fn SSL_*
115operation.
116A call to
117.Xr SSL_get_error 3
118should return
119.Dv SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE .
120.It Dv SSL_READING
121More data must be read from the underlying
122.Vt BIO
123layer in order to
124complete the actual
125.Fn SSL_*
126operation.
127A call to
128.Xr SSL_get_error 3
129should return
130.Dv SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ .
131.It Dv SSL_X509_LOOKUP
132The operation did not complete because an application callback set by
133.Xr SSL_CTX_set_client_cert_cb 3
134has asked to be called again.
135A call to
136.Xr SSL_get_error 3
137should return
138.Dv SSL_ERROR_WANT_X509_LOOKUP .
139.El

141.Fn SSL_want_nothing ,
142.Fn SSL_want_read ,
143.Fn SSL_want_write ,
144and
145.Fn SSL_want_x509_lookup
146return 1 when the corresponding condition is true or 0 otherwise.
