.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Fn SSL_CTX_set_mode
and
.Fn SSL_set_mode
enable the options contained in the bitmask
.Fa mode
for the
.Fa ctx
or
.Fa ssl
object, respectively.
Options that were already enabled before the call are not disabled.
.Pp
.Fn SSL_CTX_clear_mode
and
.Fn SSL_clear_mode
disable the options contained in the bitmask
.Fa mode
for the
.Fa ctx
or
.Fa ssl
object.
.Pp
.Fn SSL_CTX_get_mode
and
.Fn SSL_get_mode
return a bitmask representing the options
that are currently enabled for the
.Fa ctx
or
.Fa ssl
object.
.Pp
The following options are available:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Dv SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE
Allow
.Fn SSL_write ... n
to return
.Ms r
with
.EQ
0 < r < n
.EN
(i.e., report success when just a single record has been written).
When not set (the default),
.Xr SSL_write 3
will only report success once the complete chunk was written.
Once
.Xr SSL_write 3
returns with
.Ms r ,
.Ms r
bytes have been successfully written and the next call to
.Xr SSL_write 3
must only send the
.Ms n \(mi r
bytes left, imitating the behaviour of
.Xr write 2 .
.It Dv SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER
Make it possible to retry
.Xr SSL_write 3
with changed buffer location (the buffer contents must stay the same).
This is not the default to avoid the misconception that non-blocking
.Xr SSL_write 3
behaves like non-blocking
.Xr write 2 .
.It Dv SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY
Never bother the application with retries if the transport is blocking.
If a renegotiation takes place during normal operation, a
.Xr SSL_read 3
or
.Xr SSL_write 3
would return
with \(mi1 and indicate the need to retry with
.Dv SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ .
In a non-blocking environment applications must be prepared to handle
incomplete read/write operations.
In a blocking environment, applications are not always prepared to deal with
read/write operations returning without success report.
The flag
.Dv SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY
will cause read/write operations to only return after the handshake and
successful completion.
.It Dv SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS
When we no longer need a read buffer or a write buffer for a given
.Vt SSL ,
then release the memory we were using to hold it.
Using this flag can save around 34k per idle SSL connection.
This flag has no effect on SSL v2 connections, or on DTLS connections.
.El
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Fn SSL_CTX_set_mode ,
.Fn SSL_set_mode ,
.Fn SSL_CTX_clear_mode ,
and
.Fn SSL_clear_mode
return the new mode bitmask after adding or clearing
.Fa mode .
.Pp
.Fn SSL_CTX_get_mode
and
.Fn SSL_get_mode
return the current bitmask.
