SSLsetfd(3) OpenSSL SSLsetfd(3)

NAME
       SSLsetfd - connect the SSL object with a file descriptor

SYNOPSIS
        #include 

        int SSLsetfd(SSL *ssl, int fd);
        int SSLsetrfd(SSL *ssl, int fd);
        int SSLsetwfd(SSL *ssl, int fd);

DESCRIPTION
       SSLsetfd() sets the file descriptor ffdd as the input/output facility
       for the TLS/SSL (encrypted) side of ssssll. ffdd will typically be the
       socket file descriptor of a network connection.

       When performing the operation, a ssoocckkeett BBIIOO is automatically created to
       interface between the ssssll and ffdd. The BIO and hence the SSL engine
       inherit the behaviour of ffdd. If ffdd is non-blocking, the ssssll will also
       have non-blocking behaviour.

       If there was already a BIO connected to ssssll, BIOfree() will be called
       (for both the reading and writing side, if different).

       SSLsetrfd() and SSLsetwfd() perform the respective action, but only
       for the read channel or the write channel, which can be set
       independently.

RETURN VALUES
       The following return values can occur:

       0   The operation failed. Check the error stack to find out why.

       1   The operation succeeded.
