SSLpending(3) OpenSSL SSLpending(3)

NAME
       SSLpending - obtain number of readable bytes buffered in an SSL object

SYNOPSIS
        #include 

        int SSLpending(const SSL *ssl);

DESCRIPTION
       SSLpending() returns the number of bytes which are available inside
       ssssll for immediate read.

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

RETURN VALUES
       The number of bytes pending is returned.

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

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