manage whether to read as many input
bytes as possible
SYNOPSIS
#include
<openssl/ssl.h>
void
SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead
(SSL_CTX
*ctx, int yes);
long
SSL_CTX_get_read_ahead
(SSL_CTX
*ctx);
void
SSL_set_read_ahead
(SSL *s,
int yes);
long
SSL_get_read_ahead
(const SSL
*s);
long
SSL_CTX_get_default_read_ahead
(SSL_CTX
*ctx);
DESCRIPTION
SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead
()
and
SSL_set_read_ahead
()
set whether as many input bytes as possible are read for non-blocking reads.
For example if x bytes are currently required by
OpenSSL, but y bytes are available from the underlying
BIO (where y >
x), then OpenSSL will read all y
bytes into its buffer (provided that the buffer is large enough) if reading
ahead is on, or x bytes otherwise. The parameter
yes should be 0 to ensure reading ahead is off, or non
zero otherwise.
SSL_CTX_get_read_ahead
()
and
SSL_get_read_ahead
()
indicate whether reading ahead is set or not.
SSL_CTX_get_default_read_ahead
()
is identical to SSL_CTX_get_read_ahead
().
These functions are implemented as macros.
These functions have no effect when used with DTLS.
RETURN VALUES
SSL_CTX_get_read_ahead
() and
SSL_get_read_ahead
() return 0 if reading ahead is
off or non-zero otherwise, except that the return values are undefined for
DTLS.

HISTORY
SSL_set_read_ahead
() and
SSL_get_read_ahead
() appeared in SSLeay 0.4 or
earlier and have been available since OpenBSD
2.4.
SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead
(),

(), and
SSL_CTX_get_default_read_ahead
() first appeared in
OpenSSL 0.9.2b and have been available since OpenBSD
2.6.
CAVEATS
Switching read ahead on can impact the behaviour of the SSL_pending(3) function.
