SSL_CTX_set_mode() adds the mode set via bitmask in mode to
ctx. Options already set before are not cleared.
SSL_set_mode() adds the mode set via bitmask in mode to ssl.
Options already set before are not cleared.
SSL_CTX_get_mode() returns the mode set for ctx.
SSL_get_mode() returns the mode set for ssl.
The following mode changes are available:
SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE
Allow SSL_write(..., n) to return r with 0 < r < n (i.e.
report success when just a single record has been writ-
ten). When not set (the default), SSL_write() will only
report success once the complete chunk was written. Once
SSL_write() returns with r, r bytes have been success-
fully written and the next call to SSL_write() must only
send the n-r bytes left, imitating the behaviour of
write().
SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER
Make it possible to retry SSL_write() with changed
buffer location (the buffer contents must stay the
same). This is not the default to avoid the misconcep-
tion that non-blocking SSL_write() behaves like non-
blocking write().
SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY
Never bother the application with retries if the tran-
sport is blocking. If a renegotiation take place during
normal operation, a SSL_read(3) or SSL_write(3) would
return with -1 and indicate the need to retry with
SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ. In a non-blocking environment
applications must be prepared to handle incomplete
read/write operations. In a blocking environment,

applications are not always prepared to deal with
read/write operations returning without success report.
The flag SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY will cause read/write
operations to only return after the handshake and suc-
cessful completion.
SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_set_mode() return the new mode
bitmask after adding mode.
SSL_CTX_get_mode() and SSL_get_mode() return the current
bitmask.
