|
|
These functions determine why a \s-1BIO\s0 is not able to read or write data.
|
|
They will typically be called after a failed \fIBIO_read()\fR or \fIBIO_write()\fR
|
|
call.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIBIO_should_retry()\fR is true if the call that produced this condition
|
|
should then be retried at a later time.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If \fIBIO_should_retry()\fR is false then the cause is an error condition.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIBIO_should_read()\fR is true if the cause of the condition is that a \s-1BIO\s0
|
|
needs to read data.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIBIO_should_write()\fR is true if the cause of the condition is that a \s-1BIO\s0
|
|
needs to read data.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIBIO_should_io_special()\fR is true if some \*(L"special\*(R" condition, that is a
|
|
reason other than reading or writing is the cause of the condition.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIBIO_get_retry_reason()\fR returns a mask of the cause of a retry condition
|
|
consisting of the values \fB\s-1BIO_FLAGS_READ\s0\fR, \fB\s-1BIO_FLAGS_WRITE\s0\fR,
|
|
\&\fB\s-1BIO_FLAGS_IO_SPECIAL\s0\fR though current \s-1BIO\s0 types will only set one of
|
|
these.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIBIO_get_retry_BIO()\fR determines the precise reason for the special
|
|
condition, it returns the \s-1BIO\s0 that caused this condition and if
|
|
\&\fBreason\fR is not \s-1NULL\s0 it contains the reason code. The meaning of
|
|
the reason code and the action that should be taken depends on
|
|
the type of \s-1BIO\s0 that resulted in this condition.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIBIO_get_retry_reason()\fR returns the reason for a special condition if
|
|
passed the relevant \s-1BIO\s0, for example as returned by \fIBIO_get_retry_BIO()\fR.
|
|
.SH "NOTES"
|
|
.IX Header "NOTES"
|
|
If \fIBIO_should_retry()\fR returns false then the precise \*(L"error condition\*(R"
|
|
depends on the \s-1BIO\s0 type that caused it and the return code of the \s-1BIO\s0
|
|
operation. For example if a call to \fIBIO_read()\fR on a socket \s-1BIO\s0 returns
|
|
0 and \fIBIO_should_retry()\fR is false then the cause will be that the
|
|
connection closed. A similar condition on a file \s-1BIO\s0 will mean that it
|
|
has reached \s-1EOF\s0. Some \s-1BIO\s0 types may place additional information on
|
|
the error queue. For more details see the individual \s-1BIO\s0 type manual
|
|
pages.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If the underlying I/O structure is in a blocking mode almost all current
|
|
\&\s-1BIO\s0 types will not request a retry, because the underlying I/O
|
|
calls will not. If the application knows that the \s-1BIO\s0 type will never
|
|
signal a retry then it need not call \fIBIO_should_retry()\fR after a failed
|
|
\&\s-1BIO\s0 I/O call. This is typically done with file BIOs.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\s-1SSL\s0 BIOs are the only current exception to this rule: they can request a
|
|
retry even if the underlying I/O structure is blocking, if a handshake
|
|
occurs during a call to \fIBIO_read()\fR. An application can retry the failed
|
|
call immediately or avoid this situation by setting \s-1SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY\s0
|
|
on the underlying \s-1SSL\s0 structure.
|
|
.PP
|
|
While an application may retry a failed non blocking call immediately
|
|
this is likely to be very inefficient because the call will fail
|
|
repeatedly until data can be processed or is available. An application
|
|
will normally wait until the necessary condition is satisfied. How
|
|
this is done depends on the underlying I/O structure.
|
|
.PP
|
|
For example if the cause is ultimately a socket and \fIBIO_should_read()\fR
|
|
is true then a call to \fIselect()\fR may be made to wait until data is
|
|
available and then retry the \s-1BIO\s0 operation. By combining the retry
|
|
conditions of several non blocking BIOs in a single \fIselect()\fR call
|
|
it is possible to service several BIOs in a single thread, though
|
|
the performance may be poor if \s-1SSL\s0 BIOs are present because long delays
|
|
can occur during the initial handshake process.
|
|
.PP
|
|
It is possible for a \s-1BIO\s0 to block indefinitely if the underlying I/O
|
|
structure cannot process or return any data. This depends on the behaviour of
|
|
the platforms I/O functions. This is often not desirable: one solution
|
|
is to use non blocking I/O and use a timeout on the \fIselect()\fR (or
|
|
equivalent) call.
|
|
.SH "BUGS"
|
|
.IX Header "BUGS"
|
|
The OpenSSL \s-1ASN1\s0 functions cannot gracefully deal with non blocking I/O:
|
|
that is they cannot retry after a partial read or write. This is usually
|
|
worked around by only passing the relevant data to \s-1ASN1\s0 functions when
|
|
the entire structure can be read or written.
