NAME
       SSL_rstate_string, SSL_rstate_string_long - get textual description of
       state of an SSL object during read operation

SYNOPSIS
	#include <openssl/ssl.h>

	const char *SSL_rstate_string(SSL *ssl);
	const char *SSL_rstate_string_long(SSL *ssl);

DESCRIPTION
       SSL_rstate_string() returns a 2 letter string indicating the current
       read state of the SSL object ssl.

       SSL_rstate_string_long() returns a string indicating the current read
       state of the SSL object ssl.

NOTES
       When performing a read operation, the SSL/TLS engine must parse the
       record, consisting of header and body. When working in a blocking
       environment, SSL_rstate_string[_long]() should always return
       "RD"/"read done".

       This function should only seldom be needed in applications.

RETURN VALUES
       SSL_rstate_string() and SSL_rstate_string_long() can return the fol-
       lowing values:

       "RH"/"read header"
	   The header of the record is being evaluated.

       "RB"/"read body"
	   The body of the record is being evaluated.

       "RD"/"read done"
	   The record has been completely processed.

       "unknown"/"unknown"
	   The read state is unknown. This should never happen.
