NAME
SSL_set_shutdown,
SSL_get_shutdown —
manipulate shutdown state of an SSL
connection
SYNOPSIS
#include
<openssl/ssl.h>
void
SSL_set_shutdown(SSL
*ssl, int
mode);
int
SSL_get_shutdown(const
SSL *ssl);
DESCRIPTION
SSL_set_shutdown()
sets the shutdown state of ssl to
mode.
SSL_get_shutdown()
returns the shutdown mode of ssl.
NOTES
The shutdown state of an ssl connection is a bitmask of:
- 0
- No shutdown setting, yet.
SSL_SENT_SHUTDOWN- A “close notify” shutdown alert was sent to the peer; the connection is being considered closed and the session is closed and correct.
SSL_RECEIVED_SHUTDOWN- A shutdown alert was received form the peer, either a normal “close notify” or a fatal error.
SSL_SENT_SHUTDOWN and
SSL_RECEIVED_SHUTDOWN can be set at the same
time.
The shutdown state of the connection is
used to determine the state of the ssl session. If the
session is still open when
SSL_clear(3) or
SSL_free(3) is called, it is considered bad and removed according to
RFC2246. The actual condition for a correctly closed session is
SSL_SENT_SHUTDOWN (according to the TLS RFC, it is
acceptable to only send the “close notify” alert but to not
wait for the peer's answer when the underlying connection is closed).
SSL_set_shutdown()
can be used to set this state without sending a close alert to the peer (see
SSL_shutdown(3)).
If a “close notify” was
received, SSL_RECEIVED_SHUTDOWN will be set, but to
set SSL_SENT_SHUTDOWN the application must still
call
SSL_shutdown(3) or
SSL_set_shutdown()
itself.
RETURN VALUES
SSL_set_shutdown() does not return
diagnostic information.
SSL_get_shutdown() returns the current
setting.
