SSL_PENDING(3)               OpenSSL               SSL_PENDING(3)

NAME

     SSL_pending - obtain number of readable bytes buffered in an
     SSL object

SYNOPSIS

      #include <openssl/ssl.h>

      int SSL_pending(const SSL *ssl);

DESCRIPTION

     SSL_pending() returns the number of bytes which are avail-
     able inside ssl for immediate read.

NOTES

     Data are received in blocks from the peer. Therefore data
     can be buffered inside ssl and are ready for immediate
     retrieval with SSL_read(3).

RETURN VALUES

     The number of bytes pending is returned.

BUGS

     SSL_pending() takes into account only bytes from the TLS/SSL
     record that is currently being processed (if any).  If the
     SSL object's read_ahead flag is set, additional protocol
     bytes may have been read containing more TLS/SSL records;
     these are ignored by SSL_pending().

     Up to OpenSSL 0.9.6, SSL_pending() does not check if the
     record type of pending data is application data.
