The communication channel must already have been set and assigned to the \&\fBssl\fR by setting an underlying \fB\s-1BIO\s0\fR. .SH "NOTES" .IX Header "NOTES" The behaviour of \fBSSL_accept()\fR depends on the underlying \s-1BIO.\s0 .PP If the underlying \s-1BIO\s0 is \fBblocking\fR, \fBSSL_accept()\fR will only return once the handshake has been finished or an error occurred. .PP If the underlying \s-1BIO\s0 is \fBnon-blocking\fR, \fBSSL_accept()\fR will also return when the underlying \s-1BIO\s0 could not satisfy the needs of \fBSSL_accept()\fR to continue the handshake, indicating the problem by the return value \-1. In this case a call to \fBSSL_get_error()\fR with the return value of \fBSSL_accept()\fR will yield \fB\s-1SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ\s0\fR or \&\fB\s-1SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE\s0\fR. The calling process then must repeat the call after taking appropriate action to satisfy the needs of \fBSSL_accept()\fR. The action depends on the underlying \s-1BIO.\s0 When using a non-blocking socket, nothing is to be done, but \fBselect()\fR can be used to check for the required condition. When using a buffering \s-1BIO,\s0 like a \s-1BIO\s0 pair, data must be written into or retrieved out of the \s-1BIO\s0 before being able to continue. .SH "RETURN VALUES" .IX Header "RETURN VALUES" The following return values can occur: .IP "0" 4 The \s-1TLS/SSL\s0 handshake was not successful but was shut down controlled and by the specifications of the \s-1TLS/SSL\s0 protocol. Call \fBSSL_get_error()\fR with the return value \fBret\fR to find out the reason. .IP "1" 4 .IX Item "1" The \s-1TLS/SSL\s0 handshake was successfully completed, a \s-1TLS/SSL\s0 connection has been established. .IP "<0" 4 .IX Item "<0" The \s-1TLS/SSL\s0 handshake was not successful because a fatal error occurred either at the protocol level or a connection failure occurred. The shutdown was not clean. It can also occur of action is need to continue the operation for non-blocking BIOs. Call \fBSSL_get_error()\fR with the return value \fBret\fR to find out the reason. .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" \&\fBSSL_get_error\fR\|(3), \fBSSL_connect\fR\|(3), \&\fBSSL_shutdown\fR\|(3), \fBssl\fR\|(3), \fBbio\fR\|(3), \&\fBSSL_set_connect_state\fR\|(3), \&\fBSSL_do_handshake\fR\|(3), \&\fBSSL_CTX_new\fR\|(3)
