<p>The <strong><em>SSL_Read()</em></strong> function is used by a program to
receive data from an SSL-enabled socket descriptor.</p>

An <strong><em>SSLHandle</em></strong> is a typedef for a buffer of type struct
<strong><em>SSLHandleStr</em></strong>. In <strong>&lt;qsossl.h&gt;</strong>,
struct <strong><em>SSLHandleStr</em></strong> is defined as the following:<br>
<br>
<table border cellpadding="5">

unsigned short int cipherSuite; /* Current 3.0 cipher suite */
unsigned short int* cipherSuiteList; /* List of cipher suites */
unsigned int cipherSuiteListLen; /* Number of entries in
the cipher suites list */
unsigned char* peerCert; /* Peer certificate */

<p>When the <em>SSL_Read()</em> API fails with return code [SSL_ERROR_IO],
<em>errno</em> can be set to:</p>
<dl>
<dt><em>[EBADF]</em> </dt>
<dd>
<p>Descriptor not valid. </p>
</dd>
<dt><em>[ECONNRESET]</em> </dt>
<dd>
<p>A connection with a remote socket was reset by that socket. </p>
</dd>
<dt><em>[EFAULT]</em> </dt>
<dd>
<p>Bad address.</p>
<p>One of the following conditions occurred:</p>
<ul>
<li>The system detected an address that was not valid while attempting to
access the <em>buffer</em> parameter.</li>
<li>The system detected an address that was not valid while attempting to
access the <em>handle</em> parameter or one of the address fields in the
<em>handle</em> parameter.</li>
</ul><br>
</dd>
<dt><em>[EINVAL]</em> </dt>
<dd>
<p>Parameter not valid.</p>
<p>This error code indicates one of the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>The <em>socket_descriptor</em> type is not SOCK_STREAM or address family is
not AF_INET or AF_INET6.</li>
<li>One of the parameters passed is not valid or is NULL.</li>
<li>The <em>buffer_length</em> parameter specifies a negative value.</li>
</ul><br>
</dd>
<dt><em>[EIO]</em> </dt>
<dd>
<p>Input/output error. </p>
</dd>
<dt><em>[ENOTCONN]</em> </dt>
<dd>
<p>Requested operation requires a connection.</p>
<p>This error code indicates one of the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>The <em>socket_descriptor</em> is not for a socket that is in a connected
state.</li>
<li>The <em>socket_descriptor</em> has not had SSL support enabled. This
usually means that an <em>SSL_Create()</em> has not been completed for this
<em>socket_descriptor</em>.</li>
</ul><br>
</dd>
<dt><em>[ENOTSOCK]</em></dt>
<dd>
<p>The specified descriptor does not reference a socket. </p>
</dd>
<dt><em>[ETIMEDOUT]</em></dt>
<dd>
<p>A remote host did not respond within the timeout period.</p>
</dd>
<dt><em>[EUNATCH]</em></dt>
<dd>
<p>The protocol required to support the specified address family is not
available at this time.</p>
</dd>
<dt><em>[EUNKNOWN]</em></dt>
<dd>
<p>Unknown system state.</p>
</dd>
<dt><em>[EWOULDBLOCK]</em> </dt>

<h3>Usage Notes</h3>
<ol>
<li>The <em>SSL_Read()</em> function is only valid on sockets that have an
address family of <samp>AF_INET</samp> or <samp>AF_INET6</samp> and a socket type of <samp>SOCK_STREAM</samp>. If the descriptor
pointed to by the <em>handle</em> structure parameter does not have the correct
address family and socket type, [SSL_ERROR_IO] is returned and the
<em>errno</em> value is set to EINVAL.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>The maximum length of data returned will not exceed 32 KB. This is due to
the fact that SSL is a record level protocol and the largest record allowed is
32 KB minus the necessary SSL record headers.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>If the <em>createFlags</em> field in the <em>SSLHandle</em> specifies a
value that does not include the SSL_ENCRYPT flag, this function will simply
call the sockets <em>read()</em> function.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Unpredictable results will occur when attempting to mix invocations to
<em>SSL_Read()</em> and any of the sockets read functions (<em>recv()</em>,
<em>read()</em>, <em>readv()</em>, and so forth). It is strongly suggested that
you do not mix the <em>SSL_Read()</em> API with any of the sockets read
functions.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Since SSL is a record-oriented protocol, SSL must receive an entire record
before it can be decrypted and any data returned to the application. Thus, a
<em>select()</em> may indicate that data is available to be read, but a
subsequent <em>SSL_Read()</em> may hang waiting for the remainder of the SSL
record to be received when using blocking I/O.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>A FIONREAD <em>ioctl()</em> cannot be used to determine the amount of data
available for reading by using <em>SSL_Read()</em>.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>SSL will ignore the out of band (OOB) data indicator. OOB will not affect
the SSL application. OOB will just be data to the SSL protocol.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>For an SSL enabled socket, which must use a connection-oriented transport
service (that is, TCP), a returned value of zero indicates one of the
following:<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li>The partner program has issued a close() for the socket.</li>
<li>The partner program has issued a shutdown() to disable writing to the
socket.</li>
<li>The connection is broken and the error was returned on a previously issued
socket function.</li>
<li>A shutdown() to disable reading was previously done on the socket.</li>
</ul>
<br>
</li>
<li>If an SSL_Read() is run on a socket that is set to non-blocking mode, and
there is no data waiting to be read on the SSL enabled socket, the return value
will be equal to -10 and the errno will be set to EWOULDBLOCK.</li>
</ol>
