  163. These functions determine why a \s-1BIO\s0 is not able to read or write data.
  164. They will typically be called after a failed \fBBIO_read_ex()\fR or \fBBIO_write_ex()\fR
  165. call.
  166. .PP
  167. \&\fBBIO_should_retry()\fR is true if the call that produced this condition
  168. should then be retried at a later time.
  169. .PP
  170. If \fBBIO_should_retry()\fR is false then the cause is an error condition.
  171. .PP
  172. \&\fBBIO_should_read()\fR is true if the cause of the condition is that the \s-1BIO\s0
  173. has insufficient data to return. Check for readability and/or retry the
  174. last operation.
  175. .PP
  176. \&\fBBIO_should_write()\fR is true if the cause of the condition is that the \s-1BIO\s0
  177. has pending data to write. Check for writability and/or retry the
  178. last operation.
  179. .PP
  180. \&\fBBIO_should_io_special()\fR is true if some \*(L"special\*(R" condition, that is a
  181. reason other than reading or writing is the cause of the condition.
  182. .PP
  183. \&\fBBIO_retry_type()\fR returns a mask of the cause of a retry condition
  184. consisting of the values \fB\s-1BIO_FLAGS_READ\s0\fR, \fB\s-1BIO_FLAGS_WRITE\s0\fR,
  185. \&\fB\s-1BIO_FLAGS_IO_SPECIAL\s0\fR though current \s-1BIO\s0 types will only set one of
  186. these.
  187. .PP
  188. \&\fBBIO_get_retry_BIO()\fR determines the precise reason for the special
  189. condition, it returns the \s-1BIO\s0 that caused this condition and if
  190. \&\fBreason\fR is not \s-1NULL\s0 it contains the reason code. The meaning of
  191. the reason code and the action that should be taken depends on
  192. the type of \s-1BIO\s0 that resulted in this condition.
  193. .PP
  194. \&\fBBIO_get_retry_reason()\fR returns the reason for a special condition if
  195. passed the relevant \s-1BIO,\s0 for example as returned by \fBBIO_get_retry_BIO()\fR.
  196. .PP
  197. \&\fBBIO_set_retry_reason()\fR sets the retry reason for a special condition for a given
  198. \&\s-1BIO.\s0 This would usually only be called by \s-1BIO\s0 implementations.
  199. .SH "NOTES"
  200. .IX Header "NOTES"
  201. \&\fBBIO_should_read()\fR, \fBBIO_should_write()\fR, \fBBIO_should_io_special()\fR,
  202. \&\fBBIO_retry_type()\fR, and \fBBIO_should_retry()\fR, are implemented as macros.
  203. .PP
  204. If \fBBIO_should_retry()\fR returns false then the precise \*(L"error condition\*(R"
  205. depends on the \s-1BIO\s0 type that caused it and the return code of the \s-1BIO\s0
  206. operation. For example if a call to \fBBIO_read_ex()\fR on a socket \s-1BIO\s0 returns
  207. 0 and \fBBIO_should_retry()\fR is false then the cause will be that the
  208. connection closed. A similar condition on a file \s-1BIO\s0 will mean that it
  209. has reached \s-1EOF.\s0 Some \s-1BIO\s0 types may place additional information on
  210. the error queue. For more details see the individual \s-1BIO\s0 type manual
  211. pages.
  212. .PP
  213. If the underlying I/O structure is in a blocking mode almost all current
  214. \&\s-1BIO\s0 types will not request a retry, because the underlying I/O
  215. calls will not. If the application knows that the \s-1BIO\s0 type will never
  216. signal a retry then it need not call \fBBIO_should_retry()\fR after a failed
  217. \&\s-1BIO I/O\s0 call. This is typically done with file BIOs.
  218. .PP
  219. \&\s-1SSL\s0 BIOs are the only current exception to this rule: they can request a
  220. retry even if the underlying I/O structure is blocking, if a handshake
  221. occurs during a call to \fBBIO_read()\fR. An application can retry the failed
  222. call immediately or avoid this situation by setting \s-1SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY\s0
  223. on the underlying \s-1SSL\s0 structure.
  224. .PP
  225. While an application may retry a failed non blocking call immediately
  226. this is likely to be very inefficient because the call will fail
  227. repeatedly until data can be processed or is available. An application
  228. will normally wait until the necessary condition is satisfied. How
  229. this is done depends on the underlying I/O structure.
  230. .PP
  231. For example if the cause is ultimately a socket and \fBBIO_should_read()\fR
  232. is true then a call to \fBselect()\fR may be made to wait until data is
  233. available and then retry the \s-1BIO\s0 operation. By combining the retry
  234. conditions of several non blocking BIOs in a single \fBselect()\fR call
  235. it is possible to service several BIOs in a single thread, though
  236. the performance may be poor if \s-1SSL\s0 BIOs are present because long delays
  237. can occur during the initial handshake process.
  238. .PP
  239. It is possible for a \s-1BIO\s0 to block indefinitely if the underlying I/O
  240. structure cannot process or return any data. This depends on the behaviour of
  241. the platforms I/O functions. This is often not desirable: one solution
  242. is to use non blocking I/O and use a timeout on the \fBselect()\fR (or
  243. equivalent) call.
  244. .SH "BUGS"
  245. .IX Header "BUGS"
  246. The OpenSSL \s-1ASN1\s0 functions cannot gracefully deal with non blocking I/O:
  247. that is they cannot retry after a partial read or write. This is usually
  248. worked around by only passing the relevant data to \s-1ASN1\s0 functions when
  249. the entire structure can be read or written.
