<h1 id="NAME">NAME</h1>

<p>SSL_state_string, SSL_state_string_long - get textual description of state of an SSL object</p>

<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>

<pre><code>#include &lt;openssl/ssl.h&gt;

const char *SSL_state_string(const SSL *ssl);
const char *SSL_state_string_long(const SSL *ssl);</code></pre>

<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>

<p>SSL_state_string() returns an abbreviated string indicating the current state of the SSL object <b>ssl</b>. The returned NUL-terminated string contains 6 or fewer characters.</p>

<p>SSL_state_string_long() returns a descriptive string indicating the current state of the SSL object <b>ssl</b>.</p>

<h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1>

<p>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.</p>

<p>When using nonblocking 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.</p>

<p>For both blocking or nonblocking sockets, the details state information can be used within the info_callback function set with the SSL_set_info_callback() call.</p>

<p>Detailed description of possible states to be included later.</p>
