=head1 NOTES
If necessary, SSL_read() will negotiate a TLS/SSL session, if
-not already explicitly performed by L<SSL_connect(3)|SSL_connect(3)> or
-L<SSL_accept(3)|SSL_accept(3)>. If the
+not already explicitly performed by L<SSL_connect(3)> or
+L<SSL_accept(3)>. If the
peer requests a re-negotiation, it will be performed transparently during
the SSL_read() operation. The behaviour of SSL_read() depends on the
underlying BIO.
For the transparent negotiation to succeed, the B<ssl> must have been
initialized to client or server mode. This is being done by calling
-L<SSL_set_connect_state(3)|SSL_set_connect_state(3)> or SSL_set_accept_state()
-before the first call to an SSL_read() or L<SSL_write(3)|SSL_write(3)>
+L<SSL_set_connect_state(3)> or SSL_set_accept_state()
+before the first call to an SSL_read() or L<SSL_write(3)>
function.
SSL_read() works based on the SSL/TLS records. The data are received in
read operation has been finished or an error occurred, except when a
renegotiation take place, in which case a SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ may occur.
This behaviour can be controlled with the SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY flag of the
-L<SSL_CTX_set_mode(3)|SSL_CTX_set_mode(3)> call.
+L<SSL_CTX_set_mode(3)> call.
If the underlying BIO is B<non-blocking>, SSL_read() will also return
when the underlying BIO could not satisfy the needs of SSL_read()
to continue the operation. In this case a call to
-L<SSL_get_error(3)|SSL_get_error(3)> with the
+L<SSL_get_error(3)> with the
return value of SSL_read() will yield B<SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ> or
B<SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE>. As at any time a re-negotiation is possible, a
call to SSL_read() can also cause write operations! The calling process
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.
-L<SSL_pending(3)|SSL_pending(3)> can be used to find out whether there
+L<SSL_pending(3)> can be used to find out whether there
are buffered bytes available for immediate retrieval. In this case
SSL_read() can be called without blocking or actually receiving new
data from the underlying socket.
The read operation was not successful. The reason may either be a clean
shutdown due to a "close notify" alert sent by the peer (in which case
the SSL_RECEIVED_SHUTDOWN flag in the ssl shutdown state is set
-(see L<SSL_shutdown(3)|SSL_shutdown(3)>,
-L<SSL_set_shutdown(3)|SSL_set_shutdown(3)>). It is also possible, that
+(see L<SSL_shutdown(3)>,
+L<SSL_set_shutdown(3)>). It is also possible, that
the peer simply shut down the underlying transport and the shutdown is
incomplete. Call SSL_get_error() with the return value B<ret> to find out,
whether an error occurred or the connection was shut down cleanly
(SSL_ERROR_ZERO_RETURN).
-SSLv2 (deprecated) does not support a shutdown alert protocol, so it can
-only be detected, whether the underlying connection was closed. It cannot
-be checked, whether the closure was initiated by the peer or by something
-else.
