=head1 SYNOPSIS
=for comment multiple includes
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
typedef int (*SSL_async_callback_fn)(SSL *s, void *arg);
int SSL_CTX_set_async_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, SSL_async_callback_fn callback);
int SSL_CTX_set_async_callback_arg(SSL_CTX *ctx, void *arg);
int SSL_set_async_callback(SSL *s, SSL_async_callback_fn callback);
int SSL_set_async_callback_arg(SSL *s, void *arg);
int SSL_get_async_status(SSL *s, int *status);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
SSL_CTX_set_async_callback() sets an asynchronous callback function. All SSL
objects generated based on this SSL_CTX will get this callback. If an engine
supports the callback mechanism, it will be automatically called if
SSL_MODE_ASYNC has been set and an asynchronous capable engine completes a
cryptography operation to notify the application to resume the paused work flow.
SSL_CTX_set_async_callback_arg() sets the callback argument.
SSL_set_async_callback() allows an application to set a callback in an
asynchronous SSL object, so that when an engine completes a cryptography
operation, the callback will be called to notify the application to resume the
paused work flow.
SSL_set_async_callback_arg() sets an argument for the SSL object when the above
callback is called.
SSL_get_async_status() returns the engine status. This function facilitates the
communication from the engine to the application. During an SSL session,
cryptographic operations are dispatched to an engine. The engine status is very
useful for an application to know if the operation has been successfully
dispatched. If the engine does not support this additional callback method,
"ASYNC_STATUS_UNSUPPORTED" will be returned. See ASYNC_WAIT_CTX_set_status() for
a description of all of the status values.
An example of the above functions would be the following.
1. Application sets the async callback and callback data on an SSL connection
by calling SSL_set_async_callback().
2. Application sets SSL_MODE_ASYNC and makes an asynchronous SSL call
3. OpenSSL submits the asynchronous request to the engine. If a retry occurs at
this point then the status within the ASYNC_WAIT_CTX would be set and the async
callback function would be called (goto Step 7).
4. The OpenSSL engine pauses the current job and returns, so that the
application can continue processing other connections.
5. At a future point in time (probably via a polling mechanism or via an
interrupt) the engine will become aware that the asynchronous request has
finished processing.
6. The engine will call the application's callback passing the callback data as
a parameter.
7. The callback function should then run. Note: it is a requirement that the
callback function is small and non-blocking as it will be run in the context of
a polling mechanism or an interrupt.
8. It is the application's responsibility via the callback function to schedule
recalling the OpenSSL asynchronous function and to continue processing.
9. The callback function has the option to check the status returned via
SSL_get_async_status() to determine whether a retry happened instead of the
request being submitted, allowing different processing if required.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
SSL_CTX_set_async_callback(), SSL_set_async_callback(),
SSL_CTX_set_async_callback_arg(), SSL_CTX_set_async_callback_arg() and
SSL_get_async_status() return 1 on success or 0 on error.
=head1 HISTORY
SSL_CTX_set_async_callback(), SSL_CTX_set_async_callback_arg(),
SSL_set_async_callback(), SSL_set_async_callback_arg() and
SSL_get_async_status() were first added to OpenSSL 3.0.
