5 SSL_set_shutdown, SSL_get_shutdown - manipulate shutdown state of an SSL connection
9 #include <openssl/ssl.h>
11 void SSL_set_shutdown(SSL *ssl, int mode);
13 int SSL_get_shutdown(const SSL *ssl);
17 SSL_set_shutdown() sets the shutdown state of B<ssl> to B<mode>.
19 SSL_get_shutdown() returns the shutdown mode of B<ssl>.
23 The shutdown state of an ssl connection is a bitmask of:
29 No shutdown setting, yet.
31 =item SSL_SENT_SHUTDOWN
33 A "close notify" shutdown alert was sent to the peer, the connection is being
34 considered closed and the session is closed and correct.
36 =item SSL_RECEIVED_SHUTDOWN
38 A shutdown alert was received form the peer, either a normal "close notify"
43 SSL_SENT_SHUTDOWN and SSL_RECEIVED_SHUTDOWN can be set at the same time.
45 The shutdown state of the connection is used to determine the state of
46 the ssl session. If the session is still open, when
47 L<SSL_clear(3)|SSL_clear(3)> or L<SSL_free(3)|SSL_free(3)> is called,
48 it is considered bad and removed according to RFC2246.
49 The actual condition for a correctly closed session is SSL_SENT_SHUTDOWN
50 (according to the TLS RFC, it is acceptable to only send the "close notify"
51 alert but to not wait for the peer's answer, when the underlying connection
53 SSL_set_shutdown() can be used to set this state without sending a
54 close alert to the peer (see L<SSL_shutdown(3)|SSL_shutdown(3)>).
56 If a "close notify" was received, SSL_RECEIVED_SHUTDOWN will be set,
57 for setting SSL_SENT_SHUTDOWN the application must however still call
58 L<SSL_shutdown(3)|SSL_shutdown(3)> or SSL_set_shutdown() itself.
62 SSL_set_shutdown() does not return diagnostic information.
64 SSL_get_shutdown() returns the current setting.
