  83. .SH DESCRIPTION
  84. .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
  85. \&\fBSSL_CTX_set_async_callback()\fR sets an asynchronous callback function. All \fBSSL\fR
  86. objects generated based on this \fBSSL_CTX\fR will get this callback. If an engine
  87. supports the callback mechanism, it will be automatically called if
  88. \&\fBSSL_MODE_ASYNC\fR has been set and an asynchronous capable engine completes a
  89. cryptography operation to notify the application to resume the paused work flow.
  90. .PP
  91. \&\fBSSL_CTX_set_async_callback_arg()\fR sets the callback argument.
  92. .PP
  93. \&\fBSSL_set_async_callback()\fR allows an application to set a callback in an
  94. asynchronous \fBSSL\fR object, so that when an engine completes a cryptography
  95. operation, the callback will be called to notify the application to resume the
  96. paused work flow.
  97. .PP
  98. \&\fBSSL_set_async_callback_arg()\fR sets an argument for the \fBSSL\fR object when the
  99. above callback is called.
  100. .PP
  101. \&\fBSSL_get_async_status()\fR returns the engine status. This function facilitates the
  102. communication from the engine to the application. During an SSL session,
  103. cryptographic operations are dispatched to an engine. The engine status is very
  104. useful for an application to know if the operation has been successfully
  105. dispatched. If the engine does not support this additional callback method,
  106. \&\fBASYNC_STATUS_UNSUPPORTED\fR will be returned. See \fBASYNC_WAIT_CTX_set_status()\fR
  107. for a description of all of the status values.
  108. .PP
  109. An example of the above functions would be the following:
  110. .IP 1. 4
  111. Application sets the async callback and callback data on an SSL connection
  112. by calling \fBSSL_set_async_callback()\fR.
  113. .IP 2. 4
  114. Application sets \fBSSL_MODE_ASYNC\fR and makes an asynchronous SSL call
  115. .IP 3. 4
  116. OpenSSL submits the asynchronous request to the engine. If a retry occurs at
  117. this point then the status within the \fBASYNC_WAIT_CTX\fR would be set and the
  118. async callback function would be called (goto Step 7).
  119. .IP 4. 4
  120. The OpenSSL engine pauses the current job and returns, so that the
  121. application can continue processing other connections.
  122. .IP 5. 4
  123. At a future point in time (probably via a polling mechanism or via an
  124. interrupt) the engine will become aware that the asynchronous request has
  125. finished processing.
  126. .IP 6. 4
  127. The engine will call the application's callback passing the callback data as
  128. a parameter.
  129. .IP 7. 4
  130. The callback function should then run. Note: it is a requirement that the
  131. callback function is small and nonblocking as it will be run in the context of
  132. a polling mechanism or an interrupt.
  133. .IP 8. 4
  134. It is the application's responsibility via the callback function to schedule
  135. recalling the OpenSSL asynchronous function and to continue processing.
  136. .IP 9. 4
  137. The callback function has the option to check the status returned via
  138. \&\fBSSL_get_async_status()\fR to determine whether a retry happened instead of the
  139. request being submitted, allowing different processing if required.
