23peer requests a re-negotiation, it will be performed transparently during
24the SSL_write() operation. The behaviour of SSL_write() depends on the
25underlying BIO.
26
27For the transparent negotiation to succeed, the B<ssl> must have been
28initialized to client or server mode. This is not the case if a generic
29method is being used (see L<SSL_CTX_new(3)|SSL_CTX_new(3)>, so that
30L<SSL_set_connect_state(3)|SSL_set_connect_state(3)> or SSL_set_accept_state()
31must be used before the first call to an L<SSL_read(3)|SSL_read(3)>
32or SSL_write() function.

26If the underlying BIO is B<blocking>, SSL_write() will only return, once the
34If the underlying BIO is B<blocking>, SSL_write() will only return, once the
27write operation has been finished or an error occurred.
35write operation has been finished or an error occurred, except when a
36renegotiation take place, in which case a SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ may occur.
37This behaviour can be controlled with the SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY flag of the
38L<SSL_CTX_set_mode(3)|SSL_CTX_set_mode(3)> call.

29If the underlying BIO is B<non-blocking>, SSL_write() will also return,
30when the underlying BIO could not satisfy the needs of SSL_write()
39
40If the underlying BIO is B<non-blocking>, SSL_write() will also return,
41when the underlying BIO could not satisfy the needs of SSL_write()
31to continue the operation. In this case a call to SSL_get_error() with the
42to continue the operation. In this case a call to
43L<SSL_get_error(3)|SSL_get_error(3)> with the
32return value of SSL_write() will yield B<SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ> or
33B<SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE>. As at any time a re-negotiation is possible, a
34call to SSL_write() can also cause read operations! The calling process
35then must repeat the call after taking appropriate action to satisfy the
36needs of SSL_write(). The action depends on the underlying BIO. When using a
37non-blocking socket, nothing is to be done, but select() can be used to check
38for the required condition. When using a buffering BIO, like a BIO pair, data
39must be written into or retrieved out of the BIO before being able to continue.
