BIO_SOCKET_WAIT(3ossl) OpenSSL BIO_SOCKET_WAIT(3ossl)
NAME
BIO_socket_wait, BIO_wait, BIO_do_connect_retry - BIO connection
utility functions
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/bio.h>
#ifndef OPENSSL_NO_SOCK
int BIO_socket_wait(int fd, int for_read, time_t max_time);
#endif
int BIO_wait(BIO *bio, time_t max_time, unsigned int nap_milliseconds);
int BIO_do_connect_retry(BIO *bio, int timeout, int nap_milliseconds);
DESCRIPTION
BIO_socket_wait() waits on the socket fd for reading if for_read is not
0, else for writing, at most until max_time. It succeeds immediately
if max_time == 0 (which means no timeout given).
BIO_wait() waits at most until max_time on the given (typically socket-
based) bio, for reading if bio is supposed to read, else for writing.
It is used by BIO_do_connect_retry() and can be used together
BIO_read(3). It succeeds immediately if max_time == 0 (which means no
timeout given). If sockets are not available it supports polling by
succeeding after sleeping at most the given nap_milliseconds in order
to avoid a tight busy loop. Via nap_milliseconds the caller determines
the polling granularity.
BIO_do_connect_retry() connects via the given bio. It retries
BIO_do_connect() as far as needed to reach a definite outcome, i.e.,
connection succeeded, timeout has been reached, or an error occurred.
For nonblocking and potentially even non-socket BIOs it polls every
nap_milliseconds and sleeps in between using BIO_wait(). If
nap_milliseconds is < 0 then a default value of 100 ms is used. If the
timeout parameter is > 0 this indicates the maximum number of seconds
to wait until the connection is established or a definite error
occurred. A value of 0 enables waiting indefinitely (i.e, no timeout),
while a value < 0 means that BIO_do_connect() is tried only once. The
function may, directly or indirectly, invoke ERR_clear_error().
RETURN VALUES
BIO_socket_wait(), BIO_wait(), and BIO_do_connect_retry() return -1 on
error, 0 on timeout, and 1 on success.

OpenSSL 3.0.
