=head1 NOTES
If necessary, SSL_write() will negotiate a TLS/SSL session, if
not already explicitly performed by SSL_connect() or SSL_accept(). If the

L<SSL_accept(3)|SSL_accept(3)>. If the
peer requests a re-negotiation, it will be performed transparently during
the SSL_write() operation. The behaviour of SSL_write() depends on the
underlying BIO.
For the transparent negotiation to succeed, the B<ssl> must have been
initialized to client or server mode. This is not the case if a generic
method is being used (see L<SSL_CTX_new(3)|SSL_CTX_new(3)>, so that
L<SSL_set_connect_state(3)|SSL_set_connect_state(3)> or SSL_set_accept_state()
must be used before the first call to an L<SSL_read(3)|SSL_read(3)>
or SSL_write() function.
If the underlying BIO is B<blocking>, SSL_write() will only return, once the
write operation has been finished or an error occurred, except when a
renegotiation take place, in which case a SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ may occur.
