NAME
SSL_set_fd,
SSL_set_rfd, SSL_set_wfd
— connect the SSL object with a
file descriptor
SYNOPSIS
#include
<openssl/ssl.h>
int
SSL_set_fd(SSL
*ssl, int fd);
int
SSL_set_rfd(SSL
*ssl, int fd);
int
SSL_set_wfd(SSL
*ssl, int fd);
DESCRIPTION
SSL_set_fd()
sets the file descriptor fd as the input/output
facility for the TLS/SSL (encrypted) side of ssl.
fd will typically be the socket file descriptor of a
network connection.
When performing the operation, a socket BIO is automatically created to interface between the ssl and fd. The BIO and hence the SSL engine inherit the behaviour of fd. If fd is non-blocking, the ssl will also have non-blocking behaviour.
If there was already a BIO connected to ssl, BIO_free(3) will be called (for both the reading and writing side, if different).
SSL_set_rfd()
and
SSL_set_wfd()
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.

HISTORY
SSL_set_fd() appeared in SSLeay 0.4 or
earlier. SSL_set_rfd() and
SSL_set_wfd() first appeared in SSLeay 0.6.0. These
functions have been available since OpenBSD 2.4.
