  152. \&\fBSSL_connect()\fR initiates the \s-1TLS/SSL\s0 handshake with a server. The communication
  153. channel must already have been set and assigned to the \fBssl\fR by setting an
  154. underlying \fB\s-1BIO\s0\fR.
  155. .SH "NOTES"
  156. .IX Header "NOTES"
  157. The behaviour of \fBSSL_connect()\fR depends on the underlying \s-1BIO.\s0
  158. .PP
  159. If the underlying \s-1BIO\s0 is \fBblocking\fR, \fBSSL_connect()\fR will only return once the
  160. handshake has been finished or an error occurred.
  161. .PP
  162. If the underlying \s-1BIO\s0 is \fBnonblocking\fR, \fBSSL_connect()\fR will also return
  163. when the underlying \s-1BIO\s0 could not satisfy the needs of \fBSSL_connect()\fR
  164. to continue the handshake, indicating the problem by the return value \-1.
  165. In this case a call to \fBSSL_get_error()\fR with the
  166. return value of \fBSSL_connect()\fR will yield \fB\s-1SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ\s0\fR or
  167. \&\fB\s-1SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE\s0\fR. The calling process then must repeat the call after
  168. taking appropriate action to satisfy the needs of \fBSSL_connect()\fR.
  169. The action depends on the underlying \s-1BIO.\s0 When using a nonblocking socket,
  170. nothing is to be done, but \fBselect()\fR can be used to check for the required
  171. condition. When using a buffering \s-1BIO,\s0 like a \s-1BIO\s0 pair, data must be written
  172. into or retrieved out of the \s-1BIO\s0 before being able to continue.
  173. .PP
  174. Many systems implement Nagle's algorithm by default which means that it will
  175. buffer outgoing \s-1TCP\s0 data if a \s-1TCP\s0 packet has already been sent for which no
  176. corresponding \s-1ACK\s0 has been received yet from the peer. This can have performance
  177. impacts after a successful TLSv1.3 handshake or a successful TLSv1.2 (or below)
  178. resumption handshake, because the last peer to communicate in the handshake is
  179. the client. If the client is also the first to send application data (as is
  180. typical for many protocols) then this data could be buffered until an \s-1ACK\s0 has
  181. been received for the final handshake message.
  182. .PP
  183. The \fB\s-1TCP_NODELAY\s0\fR socket option is often available to disable Nagle's
  184. algorithm. If an application opts to disable Nagle's algorithm consideration
  185. should be given to turning it back on again later if appropriate. The helper
  186. function \fBBIO_set_tcp_ndelay()\fR can be used to turn on or off the \fB\s-1TCP_NODELAY\s0\fR
  187. option.
  188. .SH "RETURN VALUES"
  189. .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
  190. The following return values can occur:
  191. .IP "0" 4
  192. The \s-1TLS/SSL\s0 handshake was not successful but was shut down controlled and
  193. by the specifications of the \s-1TLS/SSL\s0 protocol. Call \fBSSL_get_error()\fR with the
  194. return value \fBret\fR to find out the reason.
  195. .IP "1" 4
  196. .IX Item "1"
  197. The \s-1TLS/SSL\s0 handshake was successfully completed, a \s-1TLS/SSL\s0 connection has been
  198. established.
  199. .IP "<0" 4
  200. .IX Item "<0"
  201. The \s-1TLS/SSL\s0 handshake was not successful, because a fatal error occurred either
  202. at the protocol level or a connection failure occurred. The shutdown was
  203. not clean. It can also occur if action is needed to continue the operation
  204. for nonblocking BIOs. Call \fBSSL_get_error()\fR with the return value \fBret\fR
  205. to find out the reason.
