<p>SSL_accept - wait for a TLS/SSL client to initiate a TLS/SSL handshake</p>
<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>
<pre><code> #include <openssl/ssl.h>
int SSL_accept(SSL *ssl);</code></pre>
<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>
<p>SSL_accept() waits for a TLS/SSL client to initiate the TLS/SSL handshake. The communication channel must already have been set and assigned to the <b>ssl</b> by setting an underlying <b>BIO</b>.</p>
<h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1>
<p>The behaviour of SSL_accept() depends on the underlying BIO.</p>
<p>If the underlying BIO is <b>blocking</b>, SSL_accept() will only return once the handshake has been finished or an error occurred.</p>
<p>If the underlying BIO is <b>nonblocking</b>, SSL_accept() will also return when the underlying BIO could not satisfy the needs of SSL_accept() to continue the handshake, indicating the problem by the return value -1. In this case a call to SSL_get_error() with the return value of SSL_accept() will yield <b>SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ</b> or <b>SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE</b>. The calling process then must repeat the call after taking appropriate action to satisfy the needs of SSL_accept(). The action depends on the underlying BIO. When using a nonblocking socket, nothing is to be done, but select() can be used to check for the required condition. When using a buffering BIO, like a BIO pair, data must be written into or retrieved out of the BIO before being able to continue.</p>
<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>
<p>The following return values can occur:</p>
<dl>
<dt id="pod0">0</dt>
<dd>
<p>The TLS/SSL handshake was not successful but was shut down controlled and by the specifications of the TLS/SSL protocol. Call SSL_get_error() with the return value <b>ret</b> to find out the reason.</p>
</dd>
<dt id="pod1">1</dt>
<dd>
<p>The TLS/SSL handshake was successfully completed, a TLS/SSL connection has been established.</p>
</dd>
<dt id="pod01"><0</dt>
<dd>
<p>The TLS/SSL handshake was not successful because a fatal error occurred either at the protocol level or a connection failure occurred. The shutdown was not clean. It can also occur if action is needed to continue the operation for nonblocking BIOs. Call SSL_get_error() with the return value <b>ret</b> to find out the reason.</p>
</dd>
