<p>The <strong>gsk_secure_soc_startSend()</strong> function is used to initiate
an asynchronous send operation on a secure session. The supplied send buffer
cannot be reused by the calling application until the send is complete or the
I/O completion port specified on the
<strong>gsk_secure_soc_startSend()</strong> has been destroyed. This API
supports sockets with an address family of AF_INET or AF_INET6 and type SOCK_STREAM only.</p>
<br>
<h3>Parameters</h3>
<dl>
<dt><em><strong>my_session_handle</strong></em>&nbsp;(Input)</dt>
<dd>The handle, returned from <strong>gsk_secure_soc_open()</strong> and used
on the <strong>gsk_secure_soc_init()</strong> API call that initialized the
secure session over which data is to be written.<br>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><em><strong>int IOCompletionPort</strong></em>&nbsp;(Input)</dt>
<dd>The I/O completion port that should be posted when the operation
completes.<br>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><em><strong>Qso_OverlappedIO_t</strong> *

<h3>Authorities</h3>
<p>No authorization is required.</p>
<br>
<h3>Return Values</h3>
<p><strong>gsk_secure_soc_startSend()</strong> returns an integer. Possible
values are:</p>
<ul>
<li>GSK_OK- The function has completed synchronously. The Qso_OverlappedIO_t
communications structure has been updated but nothing has nor will be posted to

<h3>Usage Notes</h3>
<ol>
<li>Since <strong>gsk_secure_soc_startSend()</strong> is asynchronous, care
should be used to control how many of these functions are outstanding. When a
TCP socket becomes flow control blocked such that the
<strong>gsk_secure_soc_startSend()</strong> is not able to pass the data to the
TCP socket immediately, the return value will be GSK_AS400_ASYNCHRONOUS_SEND.
Applications that send large amounts of data should have the postFlag set to 0.
This allows the application to use a return value of
GSK_AS400_ASYNCHRONOUS_SEND as an indication that the socket has become flow
control blocked. The application should then wait for the outstanding operation
to complete before issuing another <strong>gsk_secure_soc_startSend()</strong>.
This will ensure that the application does not exhaust system buffer
resources.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>A buffer that is given to <strong>gsk_secure_soc_startSend()</strong> must
not be used by the application again until either it is returned by
QsoWaitForIOCompletion() or is reclaimed by issuing a close() on the socket
descriptor or issuing a QsoDestroyIOCompletionPort() on the I/O completion
port. If a buffer is given to <strong>gsk_secure_soc_startSend()</strong> to be
sent, and it is later detected during
<strong>gsk_secure_soc_startSend()</strong> processing that the buffer has been
freed, it may produce an unrecoverable condition on the socket for which the
<strong>gsk_secure_soc_startSend()</strong> was issued. If this occurs, an
ECONNABORTED error value will be returned.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>There is no maximum length of data that can be written.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>It is not recommended to intermix
<strong>gsk_secure_soc_startSend()</strong> and blocking I/O (ie, send() or
gsk_secure_soc_send()) on the same socket. If one does, then pending
asynchronous send I/O will be serviced before blocking I/O once data can be
sent.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>It is strongly suggested that you do not mix the
<strong>gsk_secure_soc_write()</strong> nor
<strong>gsk_secure_soc_startSend()</strong> APIs with any of the sockets write
functions. However, SSL and socket reads and writes can be mixed, but they must
be performed in matched sets. If a client application writes 100 bytes of data
using one or more of the socket send() calls, then the server application must
read exactly 100 bytes of data using one or more of the socket recv() calls.
This is also true for <strong>gsk_secure_soc_write()</strong> and
<strong>gsk_secure_soc_startSend()</strong>APIs.</li>
<li>Socket option SO_SNDTIMEO
is not supported by this API. Semantics similar to SO_SNDTIMEO can be obtained
using the operationWaitTime field in the Qso_OverLappedIO_t structure.<br>
<br>
