1=pod 2 3=head1 NAME 4 5SSL_free_buffers, SSL_alloc_buffers - manage SSL structure buffers 6 7=head1 SYNOPSIS 8 9 #include <openssl/ssl.h> 10 11 int SSL_free_buffers(SSL *ssl); 12 int SSL_alloc_buffers(SSL *ssl); 13 14=head1 DESCRIPTION 15 16SSL_free_buffers() frees the read and write buffers of the given B<ssl>. 17SSL_alloc_buffers() allocates the read and write buffers of the given B<ssl>. 18 19The B<SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS> mode releases read or write buffers whenever 20the buffers have been drained. These functions allow applications to manually 21control when buffers are freed and allocated. 22 23After freeing the buffers, the buffers are automatically reallocated upon a 24new read or write. The SSL_alloc_buffers() does not need to be called, but 25can be used to make sure the buffers are preallocated. This can be used to 26avoid allocation during data processing or with CRYPTO_set_mem_functions() 27to control where and how buffers are allocated. 28 29=head1 RETURN VALUES 30 31The following return values can occur: 32 33=over 4 34 35=item 0 (Failure) 36 37The SSL_free_buffers() function returns 0 when there is pending data to be 38read or written. The SSL_alloc_buffers() function returns 0 when there is 39an allocation failure. 40 41=item 1 (Success) 42 43The SSL_free_buffers() function returns 1 if the buffers have been freed. This 44value is also returned if the buffers had been freed before calling 45SSL_free_buffers(). 46The SSL_alloc_buffers() function returns 1 if the buffers have been allocated. 47This value is also returned if the buffers had been allocated before calling 48SSL_alloc_buffers(). 49 50=back 51 52=head1 SEE ALSO 53 54L<SSL_free(3)>, L<SSL_clear(3)>, 55L<SSL_new(3)>, L<SSL_CTX_set_mode(3)>, 56L<CRYPTO_set_mem_functions> 57 58=head1 COPYRIGHT 59 60Copyright 2017-2020 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
