On success SSL_read_ex() will store the number of bytes +actually read in B<*readbytes>. + +SSL_peek_ex() and SSL_peek() are identical to SSL_read_ex() and SSL_read() +respectively except no bytes are actually removed from the underlying BIO during +the read, so that a subsequent call to SSL_read_ex() or SSL_read() will yield +at least the same bytes. + +=head1 NOTES + +In the paragraphs below a "read function" is defined as one of SSL_read_ex(), +SSL_read(), SSL_peek_ex() or SSL_peek(). + +If necessary, a read function will negotiate a TLS/SSL session, if not already +explicitly performed by L<SSL_connect(3)> or L<SSL_accept(3)>. If the +peer requests a re-negotiation, it will be performed transparently during +the read function operation. The behaviour of the read functions 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 being done by calling +L<SSL_set_connect_state(3)> or SSL_set_accept_state() before the first +invocation of a read function. + +The read functions work based on the SSL/TLS records. The data are received in +records (with a maximum record size of 16kB). Only when a record has been +completely received, can it be processed (decryption and check of integrity). +Therefore data that was not retrieved at the last read call can still be +buffered inside the SSL layer and will be retrieved on the next read +call. If B<num> is higher than the number of bytes buffered then the read +functions will return with the bytes buffered. If no more bytes are in the +buffer, the read functions will trigger the processing of the next record. +Only when the record has been received and processed completely will the read +functions return reporting success. At most the contents of one record will +be returned. As the size of an SSL/TLS record may exceed the maximum packet size +of the underlying transport (e.g. TCP), it may be necessary to read several +packets from the transport layer before the record is complete and the read call +can succeed. + +If B<SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY> has been switched off and a non-application data +record has been processed, the read function can return and set the error to +B<SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ>. +In this case there might still be unprocessed data available in the B<BIO>. +If read ahead was set using L<SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead(3)>, there might also still +be unprocessed data available in the B<SSL>. +This behaviour can be controlled using the L<SSL_CTX_set_mode(3)> call. + +If the underlying BIO is B<blocking>, a read function will only return once the +read operation has been finished or an error occurred, except when a +non-application data record has been processed and B<SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY> is +not set. +Note that if B<SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY> is set and only non-application data is +available the call will hang. + +If the underlying BIO is B<non-blocking>, a read function will also return when +the underlying BIO could not satisfy the needs of the function to continue the +operation. +In this case a call to L<SSL_get_error(3)> with the +return value of the read function will yield B<SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ> or +B<SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE>. +As at any time it's possible that non-application data needs to be sent, +a read function can also cause write operations. +The calling process then must repeat the call after taking appropriate action +to satisfy the needs of the read function. +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. + +L<SSL_pending(3)> can be used to find out whether there +are buffered bytes available for immediate retrieval. +In this case the read function can be called without blocking or actually +receiving new data from the underlying socket. + +=head1 RETURN VALUES + +SSL_read_ex() and SSL_peek_ex() will return 1 for success or 0 for failure. +Success means that 1 or more application data bytes have been read from the SSL +connection. +Failure means that no bytes could be read from the SSL connection. +Failures can be retryable (e.g. we are waiting for more bytes to +be delivered by the network) or non-retryable (e.g. a fatal network error). +In the event of a failure call L<SSL_get_error(3)> to find out the reason which +indicates whether the call is retryable or not. + +For SSL_read() and SSL_peek() the following return values can occur: + +=over 4 + +=item E<gt> 0 + +The read operation was successful. +The return value is the number of bytes actually read from the TLS/SSL +connection. + +=item Z<><= 0 + +The read operation was not successful, because either the connection was closed, +an error occurred or action must be taken by the calling process. +Call L<SSL_get_error(3)> with the return value B<ret> to find out the reason. + +Old documentation indicated a difference between 0 and -1, and that -1 was +retryable. +You should instead call SSL_get_error() to find out if it's retryable. + +=back + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L<SSL_get_error(3)>, L<SSL_write_ex(3)>, +L<SSL_CTX_set_mode(3)>, L<SSL_CTX_new(3)>, +L<SSL_connect(3)>, L<SSL_accept(3)> +L<SSL_set_connect_state(3)>, +L<SSL_pending(3)>, +L<SSL_shutdown(3)>, L<SSL_set_shutdown(3)>, +L<ssl(7)>, L<bio(7)> + +=head1 HISTORY + +The SSL_read_ex() and SSL_peek_ex() functions were added in OpenSSL 1.1.1. + +=head1 COPYRIGHT + +Copyright 2000-2019 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
