NAME
       SSLstatestring, SSLstatestringlong - get textual description of
       state of an SSL object

SYNOPSIS
        #include 

        const char *SSLstatestring(const SSL *ssl);
        const char *SSLstatestringlong(const SSL *ssl);

DESCRIPTION
       SSLstatestring() returns a 6 letter string indicating the current
       state of the SSL object ssssll.

       SSLstatestringlong() returns a string indicating the current state
       of the SSL object ssssll.

NNOOTTEESS
       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.

       When using non-blocking sockets, the function call performing the
       handshake may return with SSLERRORWANTREAD or SSLERRORWANTWRITE
       condition, so that SSLstatestring[long]() may be called.

       For both blocking or non-blocking sockets, the details state
       information can be used within the infocallback function set with the
       SSLsetinfocallback() call.

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