     SSL_pending - obtain number of readable bytes buffered in an
     SSL object

      #include 

      int SSL_pending(const SSL *ssl);

     SSL_pending() returns the number of bytes which are
     available inside ssssssssllll for immediate read.

NNNNOOOOTTTTEEEESSSS
     Data are received in blocks from the peer. Therefore data
     can be buffered inside ssssssssllll and are ready for immediate
     retrieval with SSL_read(3).

RRRREEEETTTTUUUURRRRNNNN VVVVAAAALLLLUUUUEEEESSSS
     The number of bytes pending is returned.

BBBBUUUUGGGGSSSS
     SSL_pending() takes into account only bytes from the TLS/SSL
     record that is currently being processed (if any).  If the
     SSSSSSSSLLLL object's read_ahead flag is set, additional protocol
     bytes may have been read containing more TLS/SSL records;
     these are ignored by SSL_pending().

     Up to OpenSSL 0.9.6, SSL_pending() does not check if the
     record type of pending data is application data.
