8
9 #include <openssl/ssl.h>
10
11 int SSL_set_fd(SSL *ssl, int fd);
12 int SSL_set_rfd(SSL *ssl, int fd);
13 int SSL_set_wfd(SSL *ssl, int fd);
14
15=head1 DESCRIPTION
16
17SSL_set_fd() sets the file descriptor B<fd> as the input/output facility
18for the TLS/SSL (encrypted) side of B<ssl>. B<fd> will typically be the
19socket file descriptor of a network connection.
20
21When performing the operation, a B<socket BIO> is automatically created to
22interface between the B<ssl> and B<fd>. The BIO and hence the SSL engine
23inherit the behaviour of B<fd>. If B<fd> is non-blocking, the B<ssl> will
24also have non-blocking behaviour.
25
26If there was already a BIO connected to B<ssl>, BIO_free() will be called
27(for both the reading and writing side, if different).
28
29SSL_set_rfd() and SSL_set_wfd() perform the respective action, but only
30for the read channel or the write channel, which can be set independently.
