.SH NAME
SSL_set_blocking_mode, SSL_get_blocking_mode \- configure blocking mode for a
QUIC SSL object
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 1
\& #include <openssl/ssl.h>
\&
\& int SSL_set_blocking_mode(SSL *s, int blocking);
\& int SSL_get_blocking_mode(SSL *s);
.Ve
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBSSL_set_blocking_mode()\fR can be used to enable or disable blocking mode on a QUIC
connection SSL object. By default, blocking is enabled, unless the SSL object is
configured to use an underlying read or write BIO which cannot provide a poll
descriptor (see \fBBIO_get_rpoll_descriptor\fR\|(3)), as blocking mode cannot be
supported in this case.
.PP
To enable blocking mode, call \fBSSL_set_blocking_mode()\fR with \fIblocking\fR set to 1;
to disable it, call \fBSSL_set_blocking_mode()\fR with \fIblocking\fR set to 0.
.PP
To retrieve the current blocking mode, call \fBSSL_get_blocking_mode()\fR.
.PP
Blocking mode means that calls such as \fBSSL_read()\fR and \fBSSL_write()\fR will block
until the requested operation can be performed. In nonblocking mode, these
calls will fail if the requested operation cannot be performed immediately; see
\&\fBSSL_get_error\fR\|(3).
.PP
These functions are only applicable to QUIC connection SSL objects. Other kinds
of SSL object, such as those for TLS, automatically function in blocking or
nonblocking mode based on whether the underlying network read and write BIOs
provided to the SSL object are themselves configured in nonblocking mode.
.PP
Where a QUIC connection SSL object is used in nonblocking mode, an application
is responsible for ensuring that the SSL object is ticked regularly; see
\&\fBSSL_handle_events\fR\|(3).
.PP
Blocking mode is disabled automatically if the application provides a QUIC
connection SSL object with a network BIO which cannot support blocking mode. To
re-enable blocking mode in this case, an application must set a network BIO
which can support blocking mode and explicitly call \fBSSL_set_blocking_mode()\fR.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBSSL_set_blocking_mode()\fR returns 1 on success and 0 on failure. The function
fails if called on a SSL object which does not represent a QUIC connection,
or if blocking mode cannot be used for the given connection.
.PP
\&\fBSSL_get_blocking_mode()\fR returns 1 if blocking is currently enabled. It returns
\&\-1 if called on an unsupported SSL object.

The \fBSSL_set_blocking_mode()\fR and \fBSSL_get_blocking_mode()\fR functions were added in
OpenSSL 3.2.
