- .SH "DESCRIPTION"
- .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
- \&\fBSSL_poll()\fR allows the readiness conditions of the resources represented by one
- or more \s-1BIO_POLL_DESCRIPTOR\s0 structures to be determined. In particular, it can
- be used to query for readiness conditions on \s-1QUIC\s0 connection \s-1SSL\s0 objects and
- \&\s-1QUIC\s0 stream \s-1SSL\s0 objects in a single call.
- .PP
- A call to \fBSSL_poll()\fR specifies an array of \fB\s-1SSL_POLL_ITEM\s0\fR structures, each of
- which designates a resource which is being polled for readiness, and a set of
- event flags which indicate the specific readiness events which the caller is
- interested in in relation to the specified resource.
- .PP
- The fields of \fB\s-1SSL_POLL_ITEM\s0\fR are as follows:
- .IP "\fIdesc\fR" 4
- .IX Item "desc"
- The resource being polled for readiness, as represented by a
- \&\fB\s-1BIO_POLL_DESCRIPTOR\s0\fR. Currently, this must be a poll descriptor of type
- \&\fB\s-1BIO_POLL_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_SSL\s0\fR, representing a \s-1SSL\s0 object pointer, and the \s-1SSL\s0
- object must be a \s-1QUIC\s0 connection \s-1SSL\s0 object or \s-1QUIC\s0 stream \s-1SSL\s0 object.
- .Sp
- If a \fB\s-1SSL_POLL_ITEM\s0\fR has a poll descriptor type of
- \&\fB\s-1BIO_POLL_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_NONE\s0\fR, or the \s-1SSL\s0 object pointer is \s-1NULL,\s0 the
- \&\fB\s-1SSL_POLL_ITEM\s0\fR array entry is ignored and \fIrevents\fR will be set to 0 on
- return.
- .IP "\fIevents\fR" 4
- .IX Item "events"
- This is the set of zero or more events which the caller is interested in
- learning about in relation to the resource described by \fIdesc\fR. It is a
- collection of zero or more \fB\s-1SSL_POLL_EVENT\s0\fR flags. See \*(L"\s-1EVENT TYPES\*(R"\s0 for a
- description of each of the event types.
- .IP "\fIrevents\fR" 4
- .IX Item "revents"
- After \fBSSL_poll()\fR returns, this is the set of zero or more events which are
- actually applicable to the resource described by \fIdesc\fR. As for \fIevents\fR,
- it is a collection of zero or more \fB\s-1SSL_POLL_EVENT\s0\fR flags.
- .Sp
- \&\fIrevents\fR need not be a subset of the events specified in \fIevents\fR, as some
- event types are defined as always being enabled (non-maskable). See \*(L"\s-1EVENT
- TYPES\*(R"\s0 for more information.
- .PP
- To use \fBSSL_poll()\fR, call it with an array of \fB\s-1SSL_POLL_ITEM\s0\fR structures. The
- array need remain allocated only for the duration of the call. \fInum_items\fR must
- be set to the number of entries in the array, and \fIstride\fR must be set to
- \&\f(CW\*(C`sizeof(SSL_POLL_ITEM)\*(C'\fR.
- .PP
- The present implementation of \fBSSL_poll()\fR is a subset of the functionality which
- will eventually be available. Only a nonblocking mode of operation is available
- at this time, where \fBSSL_poll()\fR always returns immediately. As such, \fItimeout\fR
- must point to a valid \fBstruct timeval\fR and that structure must be set to zero.
- In future, other inputs to the \fItimeout\fR argument will result in a blocking
- mode of operation, which is not currently supported. For more information, see
- \&\*(L"\s-1LIMITATIONS\*(R"\s0.
- .PP
- The following flags are currently defined for the \fIflags\fR argument:
- .IP "\fB\s-1SSL_POLL_FLAG_NO_HANDLE_EVENTS\s0\fR" 4
- .IX Item "SSL_POLL_FLAG_NO_HANDLE_EVENTS"
- This flag indicates that internal state machine processing should not be
- performed in an attempt to generate new readiness events. Only existing
- readiness events will be reported.
- .PP
- The \fIresult_count\fR argument is optional. If it is non-NULL, it is used to
- output the number of entries in the array which have nonzero \fIrevents\fR fields
- when the call to \fBSSL_poll()\fR returns; see \*(L"\s-1RETURN VALUES\*(R"\s0 for details.
- .SH "EVENT TYPES"
- .IX Header "EVENT TYPES"
- The \fBSSL_poll()\fR interface reports zero or more event types on a given resource,
- represented by a bit mask.
- .PP
- All of the event types are level triggered and represent a readiness or
- permanent exception condition; as such, after an event has been reported by
- \&\fBSSL_poll()\fR for a resource, it will continue to be reported in future \fBSSL_poll()\fR
- calls until the condition ceases to be in effect. A caller must mask the given
- event type bit in future \fBSSL_poll()\fR calls if it does not wish to receive
- repeated notifications and has not caused the underlying readiness condition
- (for example, consuming all available data using \fBSSL_read_ex\fR\|(3) after
- \&\fB\s-1SSL_POLL_EVENT_R\s0\fR is reported) to be deasserted.
- .PP
- Some event types do not make sense on a given kind of resource. In this case,
- specifying that event type in \fIevents\fR is a no-op and will be ignored, and the
- given event will never be reported in \fIrevents\fR.
- .PP
- Failure of the polling mechanism itself is considered distinct from an exception
- condition on a resource which was successfully polled. See \fB\s-1SSL_POLL_EVENT_F\s0\fR
- and \*(L"\s-1RETURN VALUES\*(R"\s0 for details.
- .PP
- In general, an application should always listen for the event types
- corresponding to exception conditions if it is listening to the corresponding
- non-exception event types (e.g. \fB\s-1SSL_POLL_EVENT_EC\s0\fR and \fB\s-1SSL_POLL_EVENT_ER\s0\fR
- for \fB\s-1SSL_POLL_EVENT_R\s0\fR), as not doing so is unlikely to be a sound design.
- .PP
- Some event types are non-maskable and may be reported in \fIrevents\fR regardless
- of whether they were requested in \fIevents\fR.
- .PP
- The following event types are supported:
- .IP "\fB\s-1SSL_POLL_EVENT_F\s0\fR" 4
- .IX Item "SSL_POLL_EVENT_F"
- Polling failure. This event is raised when a resource could not be polled. It is
- distinct from an exception condition reported on a resource which was
- successfully polled and represents a failure of the polling process itself in
- relation to a resource. This may mean that \fBSSL_poll()\fR does not support the kind
- of resource specified.
- .Sp
- Where this event is raised on at least one item in \fIitems\fR, \fBSSL_poll()\fR will
- return 0 and the \s-1ERR\s0 stack will contain information pertaining to the first item
- in \fIitems\fR with \fB\s-1SSL_POLL_EVENT_F\s0\fR set. See \*(L"\s-1RETURN VALUES\*(R"\s0 for more
- information.
- .Sp
- This event type may be raised even if it was not requested in \fIevents\fR;
- specifying this event type in \fIevents\fR does nothing.
- .IP "\fB\s-1SSL_POLL_EVENT_EC\s0\fR" 4
- .IX Item "SSL_POLL_EVENT_EC"
- Error at connection level. This event is raised when a connection has failed.
- In particular, it is raised when a connection begins terminating.
- .Sp
- This event is never raised on objects which are not connections.
- .IP "\fB\s-1SSL_POLL_EVENT_DCD\s0\fR" 4
- .IX Item "SSL_POLL_EVENT_DCD"
- Error at connection level (drained). This event is raised when a connection has
- finished terminating, and has reached the terminated state. This event will
- generally occur after an interval of time passes after the \fB\s-1SSL_POLL_EVENT_EC\s0\fR
- event is raised on a connection.
- .Sp
- This event is never raised on objects which are not connections.
- .IP "\fB\s-1SSL_POLL_EVENT_ER\s0\fR" 4
- .IX Item "SSL_POLL_EVENT_ER"
- Error in read direction. For \s-1QUIC,\s0 this is raised only in the event that a
- stream has a read part and that read part has been reset by the peer (for
- example, using a \fB\s-1RESET_STREAM\s0\fR frame).
- .IP "\fB\s-1SSL_POLL_EVENT_EW\s0\fR" 4
- .IX Item "SSL_POLL_EVENT_EW"
- Error in write direction. For \s-1QUIC,\s0 this is raised only in the event that a
- stream has a write part and that write part has been reset by the peer using a
- \&\fB\s-1STOP_SENDING\s0\fR frame.
- .IP "\fB\s-1SSL_POLL_EVENT_R\s0\fR" 4
- .IX Item "SSL_POLL_EVENT_R"
- Readable. This event is raised when a \s-1QUIC\s0 stream \s-1SSL\s0 object (or a \s-1QUIC\s0
- connection \s-1SSL\s0 object with a default stream attached) has application data
- waiting to be read using \fBSSL_read_ex\fR\|(3), or a \s-1FIN\s0 event as represented by
- \&\fB\s-1SSL_ERROR_ZERO_RETURN\s0\fR waiting to be read.
- .Sp
- It is not raised in the event of the receiving part of the \s-1QUIC\s0 stream being
- reset by the peer; see \fB\s-1SSL_POLL_EVENT_ER\s0\fR.
- .IP "\fB\s-1SSL_POLL_EVENT_W\s0\fR" 4
- .IX Item "SSL_POLL_EVENT_W"
- Writable. This event is raised when a \s-1QUIC\s0 stream \s-1SSL\s0 object (or a \s-1QUIC\s0
- connection \s-1SSL\s0 object with a default stream attached) could accept more
- application data using \fBSSL_write_ex\fR\|(3).
- .Sp
- This event is never raised by a receive-only stream.
- .Sp
- This event is never raised by a stream which has had its send part concluded
- normally (as with \fBSSL_stream_conclude\fR\|(3)) or locally reset (as with
- \&\fBSSL_stream_reset\fR\|(3)).
- .Sp
- This event does not guarantee that a subsequent call to \fBSSL_write_ex\fR\|(3) will
- succeed.
- .IP "\fB\s-1SSL_POLL_EVENT_ISB\s0\fR" 4
- .IX Item "SSL_POLL_EVENT_ISB"
- This event, which is only raised by a \s-1QUIC\s0 connection \s-1SSL\s0 object, is raised when
- one or more incoming bidirectional streams are available to be accepted using
- \&\fBSSL_accept_stream\fR\|(3).
- .IP "\fB\s-1SSL_POLL_EVENT_ISU\s0\fR" 4
- .IX Item "SSL_POLL_EVENT_ISU"
- This event, which is only raised by a \s-1QUIC\s0 connection \s-1SSL\s0 object, is raised when
- one or more incoming unidirectional streams are available to be accepted using
- \&\fBSSL_accept_stream\fR\|(3).
- .IP "\fB\s-1SSL_POLL_EVENT_OSB\s0\fR" 4
- .IX Item "SSL_POLL_EVENT_OSB"
- This event, which is only raised by a \s-1QUIC\s0 connection \s-1SSL\s0 object, is raised when
- \&\s-1QUIC\s0 stream creation flow control currently permits at least one additional
- bidirectional stream to be locally created.
- .IP "\fB\s-1SSL_POLL_EVENT_OSU\s0\fR" 4
- .IX Item "SSL_POLL_EVENT_OSU"
- This event, which is only raised by a \s-1QUIC\s0 connection \s-1SSL\s0 object, is raised when
- \&\s-1QUIC\s0 stream creation flow control currently permits at least one additional
- unidirectional stream to be locally created.
- .SH "LIMITATIONS"
- .IX Header "LIMITATIONS"
- \&\fBSSL_poll()\fR as presently implemented has the following limitations:
- .IP "\(bu" 4
- The implementation of \fBSSL_poll()\fR only supports nonblocking operation and
- therefore requires the \fItimeout\fR argument be used to specify a zero timeout.
- Calls to \fBSSL_poll()\fR which specify another value, or which pass \fItimeout\fR as
- \&\s-1NULL,\s0 will fail. This does not allow waiting, but does allow multiple \s-1QUIC SSL\s0
- objects to be queried for their readiness state in a single call.
- .Sp
- Future releases will remove this limitation and support blocking \fBSSL_poll()\fR.
- .IP "\(bu" 4
- Only \fB\s-1BIO_POLL_DESCRIPTOR\s0\fR structures with type
- \&\fB\s-1BIO_POLL_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_SSL\s0\fR, referencing \s-1QUIC\s0 connection \s-1SSL\s0 objects or \s-1QUIC\s0
- stream \s-1SSL\s0 objects, are supported.
- .PP
- These limitations will be revised in a future release of OpenSSL.
- .SH "RETURN VALUES"
- .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
- \&\fBSSL_poll()\fR returns 1 on success and 0 on failure.
- .PP
- Unless the \fIitems\fR pointer itself is invalid, \fBSSL_poll()\fR will always initialise
- the \fIrevents\fR fields of all items in the input array upon returning, even if it
- returns failure.
- .PP
- If \fIresult_count\fR is non-NULL, it is always written with the number of items in
- the array with nonzero \fIrevents\fR fields, even if the \fBSSL_poll()\fR call returns
- failure.
- .PP
- It is possible for \fIresult_count\fR to be written as 0 even if the \fBSSL_poll()\fR
- call returns success, namely if no events were output but the polling process
- was successful (e.g. in nonblocking usage) or timed out.
- .PP
- It is possible for \fIresult_count\fR to be written as a nonzero value if the
- \&\fBSSL_poll()\fR call returns failure, for example due to \fB\s-1SSL_POLL_EVENT_F\s0\fR events,
- or because some events were detected and output before encountering a failure
- condition while processing a subsequent entry in the \fIitems\fR array.
- .PP
- If at least one \fB\s-1SSL_POLL_EVENT_F\s0\fR event is output, \fBSSL_poll()\fR is guaranteed
- to return 0 and guaranteed to place at least one \s-1ERR\s0 on the error stack
- describing the first \fB\s-1SSL_POLL_EVENT_F\s0\fR output. Detailed information on any
- additional \fB\s-1SSL_POLL_EVENT_F\s0\fR events is not available. \fBSSL_poll()\fR may or may
- not return more than one \fB\s-1SSL_POLL_EVENT_F\s0\fR event at once.
- .PP
- \&\*(L"Normal\*(R" events representing exceptional I/O conditions which do not
- constitute a failure of the \fBSSL_poll()\fR mechanism itself are not considered
- errors by \fBSSL_poll()\fR and are instead represented using their own event type; see
- \&\*(L"\s-1EVENT TYPES\*(R"\s0 for details.
- .PP
- The caller can establish the meaning of the \fBSSL_poll()\fR return and output values
- as follows:
- .IP "\(bu" 4
- If \fBSSL_poll()\fR returns 1 and \fIresult_count\fR is zero, the operation timed out
- before any resource was ready.
- .IP "\(bu" 4
- If \fBSSL_poll()\fR returns 1 and \fIresult_count\fR is nonzero, that many events were
- output.
- .IP "\(bu" 4
- If \fBSSL_poll()\fR returns 0 and \fIresult_count\fR is zero, the caller has made a basic
- usage error; check the \s-1ERR\s0 stack for details.
- .IP "\(bu" 4
- If \fBSSL_poll()\fR returns 0 and \fIresult_count\fR is nonzero, inspect the \fIitems\fR
- array for \fB\s-1SSL_POLL_ITEM\s0\fR structures with the \fB\s-1SSL_POLL_EVENT_F\s0\fR event type
- raised in \fIrevents\fR. The entries added to the \s-1ERR\s0 stack (of which there is
- guaranteed to be at least one) reflect the cause of the failure of the first
- item in \fIitems\fR with \fB\s-1SSL_POLL_EVENT_F\s0\fR raised. Note that there may be events
- other than \fI\s-1SSL_POLL_EVENT_F\s0\fR output for items which come before the first
- item with \fB\s-1SSL_POLL_EVENT_F\s0\fR raised, and additional \fB\s-1SSL_POLL_EVENT_F\s0\fR
- events may or may not have been output, both of which which will be reflected in
- \&\fIresult_count\fR.
