SSL_state_string(3)
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(
	  SSL *ssl const char *SSL_state_string_long(
	  SSL *ssl );

DESCRIPTION
  The SSL_state_string() function returns a six-- letter string indicating
  the current state of the SSL object ssl.

  The SSL_state_string_long() function returns a string indicating the
  current state of the SSL object ssl.

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. However, it
  can be of significant interest during the handshake.

  When using non-blocking sockets, the function call performing the handshake
  might return an SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ or SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE condition, so
  that the SSL_state_string[_long]() function might 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.

RETURN VALUES
  Detailed description of possible states to be included later.
