SSLsetconnectstate(3) OpenSSL SSLsetconnectstate(3)

NAME
       SSLsetconnectstate, SSLgetacceptstate - prepare SSL object to
       work in client or server mode

SYNOPSIS
        #include 

        void SSLsetconnectstate(SSL *ssl);

        void SSLsetacceptstate(SSL *ssl);

DESCRIPTION
       SSLsetconnectstate() sets ssssll to work in client mode.

       SSLsetacceptstate() sets ssssll to work in server mode.

NNOOTTEESS
       When the SSLCTX object was created with SSLCTXnew(3), it was either
       assigned a dedicated client method, a dedicated server method, or a
       generic method, that can be used for both client and server
       connections. (The method might have been changed with
       SSLCTXsetsslversion(3) or SSLsetsslmethod().)

       When beginning a new handshake, the SSL engine must know whether it
       must call the connect (client) or accept (server) routines. Even though
       it may be clear from the method chosen, whether client or server mode
       was requested, the handshake routines must be explicitly set.

       When using the SSLconnect(3) or SSLaccept(3) routines, the correct
       handshake routines are automatically set. When performing a transparent
       negotiation using SSLwrite(3) or SSLread(3), the handshake routines
       must be explicitly set in advance using either SSLsetconnectstate()
       or SSLsetacceptstate().

RETURN VALUES
       SSLsetconnectstate() and SSLsetacceptstate() do not return
       diagnostic information.
