=head1 NAME
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
SSL_connect - initiate the TLS/SSL handshake with an TLS/SSL server
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 #include <openssl/ssl.h>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 int SSL_connect(SSL *ssl);
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
SSL_connect() initiates the TLS/SSL handshake with a server. The communication
 | 
						|
channel must already have been set and assigned to the B<ssl> by setting an
 | 
						|
underlying B<BIO>.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=head1 NOTES
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The behaviour of SSL_connect() depends on the underlying BIO. 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If the underlying BIO is B<blocking>, SSL_connect() will only return once the
 | 
						|
handshake has been finished or an error occurred.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If the underlying BIO is B<non-blocking>, SSL_connect() will also return
 | 
						|
when the underlying BIO could not satisfy the needs of SSL_connect()
 | 
						|
to continue the handshake, indicating the problem by the return value -1.
 | 
						|
In this case a call to SSL_get_error() with the
 | 
						|
return value of SSL_connect() will yield B<SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ> or
 | 
						|
B<SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE>. The calling process then must repeat the call after
 | 
						|
taking appropriate action to satisfy the needs of SSL_connect().
 | 
						|
The action depends on the underlying BIO. When using a non-blocking socket,
 | 
						|
nothing is to be done, but select() can be used to check for the required
 | 
						|
condition. When using a buffering BIO, like a BIO pair, data must be written
 | 
						|
into or retrieved out of the BIO before being able to continue.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The following return values can occur:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=over 4
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item 1
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The TLS/SSL handshake was successfully completed, a TLS/SSL connection has been
 | 
						|
established.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item 0
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The TLS/SSL handshake was not successful but was shut down controlled and
 | 
						|
by the specifications of the TLS/SSL protocol. Call SSL_get_error() with the
 | 
						|
return value B<ret> to find out the reason.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item E<lt>0
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The TLS/SSL 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 SSL_get_error() with the return value B<ret>
 | 
						|
to find out the reason.
