If necessary, SSL_write() will negotiate a TLS/SSL session, if

-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_write() operation. The behaviour of SSL_write() 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 L<SSL_read(3)|SSL_read(3)> or SSL_write() function.
+L<SSL_set_connect_state(3)> or SSL_set_accept_state()
+before the first call to an L<SSL_read(3)> or SSL_write() function.
If the underlying BIO is B<blocking>, SSL_write() will only return, once the
write 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_write() will also return,
when the underlying BIO could not satisfy the needs of SSL_write()
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_write() 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_write() can also cause read operations! The calling process
SSL_write() will only return with success, when the complete contents
of B<buf> of length B<num> has been written. This default behaviour
can be changed with the SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE option of
-L<SSL_CTX_set_mode(3)|SSL_CTX_set_mode(3)>. When this flag is set,
+L<SSL_CTX_set_mode(3)>. When this flag is set,
SSL_write() will also return with success, when a partial write has been
successfully completed. In this case the SSL_write() operation is considered
completed. The bytes are sent and a new SSL_write() operation with a new
