  79. .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
  80. \&\fBSSL_CTX_set_mode()\fR adds the mode set via bit-mask in \fBmode\fR to \fBctx\fR.
  81. Options already set before are not cleared.
  82. \&\fBSSL_CTX_clear_mode()\fR removes the mode set via bit-mask in \fBmode\fR from \fBctx\fR.
  83. .PP
  84. \&\fBSSL_set_mode()\fR adds the mode set via bit-mask in \fBmode\fR to \fBssl\fR.
  85. Options already set before are not cleared.
  86. \&\fBSSL_clear_mode()\fR removes the mode set via bit-mask in \fBmode\fR from \fBssl\fR.
  87. .PP
  88. \&\fBSSL_CTX_get_mode()\fR returns the mode set for \fBctx\fR.
  89. .PP
  90. \&\fBSSL_get_mode()\fR returns the mode set for \fBssl\fR.
  91. .SH NOTES
  92. .IX Header "NOTES"
  93. The following mode changes are available:
  94. .IP SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE 4
  95. .IX Item "SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE"
  96. Allow SSL_write_ex(..., n, &r) to return with 0 < r < n (i.e. report success
  97. when just a single record has been written). This works in a similar way for
  98. \&\fBSSL_write()\fR. When not set (the default), \fBSSL_write_ex()\fR or \fBSSL_write()\fR will only
  99. report success once the complete chunk was written. Once \fBSSL_write_ex()\fR or
  100. \&\fBSSL_write()\fR returns successful, \fBr\fR bytes have been written and the next call
  101. to \fBSSL_write_ex()\fR or \fBSSL_write()\fR must only send the n\-r bytes left, imitating
  102. the behaviour of \fBwrite()\fR.
  103. .Sp
  104. This mode cannot be enabled while in the middle of an incomplete write
  105. operation.
  106. .IP SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER 4
  107. .IX Item "SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER"
  108. Make it possible to retry \fBSSL_write_ex()\fR or \fBSSL_write()\fR with changed buffer
  109. location (the buffer contents must stay the same). This is not the default to
  110. avoid the misconception that nonblocking \fBSSL_write()\fR behaves like
  111. nonblocking \fBwrite()\fR.
  112. .IP SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY 4
  113. .IX Item "SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY"
  114. During normal operations, non-application data records might need to be sent or
  115. received that the application is not aware of.
  116. If a non-application data record was processed,
  117. \&\fBSSL_read_ex\fR\|(3) and \fBSSL_read\fR\|(3) can return with a failure and indicate the
  118. need to retry with \fBSSL_ERROR_WANT_READ\fR.
  119. If such a non-application data record was processed, the flag
  120. \&\fBSSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY\fR causes it to try to process the next record instead of
  121. returning.
  122. .Sp
  123. In a nonblocking environment applications must be prepared to handle
  124. incomplete read/write operations.
  125. Setting \fBSSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY\fR for a nonblocking \fBBIO\fR will process
  126. non-application data records until either no more data is available or
  127. an application data record has been processed.
  128. .Sp
  129. In a blocking environment, applications are not always prepared to
  130. deal with the functions returning intermediate reports such as retry
  131. requests, and setting the \fBSSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY\fR flag will cause the functions
  132. to only return after successfully processing an application data record or a
  133. failure.
  134. .Sp
  135. Turning off \fBSSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY\fR can be useful with blocking \fBBIO\fRs in case
  136. they are used in combination with something like \fBselect()\fR or \fBpoll()\fR.
  137. Otherwise the call to \fBSSL_read()\fR or \fBSSL_read_ex()\fR might hang when a
  138. non-application record was sent and no application data was sent.
  139. .IP SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS 4
  140. .IX Item "SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS"
  141. When we no longer need a read buffer or a write buffer for a given SSL,
  142. then release the memory we were using to hold it.
  143. Using this flag can
  144. save around 34k per idle SSL connection.
  145. This flag has no effect on SSL v2 connections, or on DTLS connections.
  146. .IP SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV 4
  147. .IX Item "SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV"
  148. Send TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV in the ClientHello.
  149. To be set only by applications that reconnect with a downgraded protocol
  150. version; see draft\-ietf\-tls\-downgrade\-scsv\-00 for details.
  151. .Sp
  152. DO NOT ENABLE THIS if your application attempts a normal handshake.
  153. Only use this in explicit fallback retries, following the guidance
  154. in draft\-ietf\-tls\-downgrade\-scsv\-00.
  155. .IP SSL_MODE_ASYNC 4
  156. .IX Item "SSL_MODE_ASYNC"
  157. Enable asynchronous processing. TLS I/O operations may indicate a retry with
  158. SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC with this mode set if an asynchronous capable engine is
  159. used to perform cryptographic operations. See \fBSSL_get_error\fR\|(3).
  160. .IP SSL_MODE_DTLS_SCTP_LABEL_LENGTH_BUG 4
  161. .IX Item "SSL_MODE_DTLS_SCTP_LABEL_LENGTH_BUG"
  162. Older versions of OpenSSL had a bug in the computation of the label length
  163. used for computing the endpoint-pair shared secret. The bug was that the
  164. terminating zero was included in the length of the label. Setting this option
  165. enables this behaviour to allow interoperability with such broken
  166. implementations. Please note that setting this option breaks interoperability
  167. with correct implementations. This option only applies to DTLS over SCTP.
  168. .PP
  169. All modes are off by default except for SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY which is on by
  170. default since 1.1.1.
  171. .SH "RETURN VALUES"
  172. .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
  173. \&\fBSSL_CTX_set_mode()\fR and \fBSSL_set_mode()\fR return the new mode bit-mask
  174. after adding \fBmode\fR.
  175. .PP
  176. \&\fBSSL_CTX_get_mode()\fR and \fBSSL_get_mode()\fR return the current bit-mask.
  177. .SH "SEE ALSO"
  178. .IX Header "SEE ALSO"
  179. \&\fBssl\fR\|(7), \fBSSL_read_ex\fR\|(3), \fBSSL_read\fR\|(3), \fBSSL_write_ex\fR\|(3) or
  180. \&\fBSSL_write\fR\|(3), \fBSSL_get_error\fR\|(3)
  181. .SH HISTORY
