=head1 NAME
SSL_waiting_for_async, SSL_get_async_wait_fd - manage asynchronous operations
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
int SSL_waiting_for_async(SSL *s);
int SSL_get_async_wait_fd(SSL *s);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
SSL_waiting_for_async() determines whether an SSL connection is currently
waiting for asynchronous operations to complete (see the SSL_MODE_ASYNC mode in
L<SSL_CTX_set_mode(3)>).
SSL_get_async_wait_fd() returns a file descriptor which can be used in a call to
select() or poll() to determine whether the current asynchronous operation has
completed or not. A completed operation will result in data appearing as
available on the file descriptor (no actual data should be read from the file
descriptor). This function should only be called if the SSL object is currently
waiting for asynchronous work to complete (i.e. SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC has been
received - see L<SSL_get_error(3)>).
=head1 RETURN VALUES
SSL_waiting_for_async() will return 1 if the current SSL operation is waiting
for an async operation to complete and 0 otherwise.
SSL_get_async_wait_fd() will return a file descriptor that can be used in a call
to select() or poll() to wait for asynchronous work to complete, or -1 on error.

=head1 HISTORY
SSL_waiting_for_async() and SSL_get_async_wait_fd() were first added to
OpenSSL 1.1.0
