## Enumerations
enum | bufferevent_ssl_state { BUFFEREVENT_SSL_OPEN = 0 , BUFFEREVENT_SSL_CONNECTING = 1 , BUFFEREVENT_SSL_ACCEPTING = 2 }
| The state of an SSL object to be used when creating a new SSL bufferevent.

## Functions
EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL unsigned long | bufferevent_get_openssl_error (struct bufferevent *bev)
| Return the most recent OpenSSL error reported on an SSL bufferevent.
EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL struct bufferevent * | bufferevent_openssl_filter_new (struct event_base *base, struct bufferevent *underlying, struct ssl_st *ssl, enum bufferevent_ssl_state state, int options)
| Create a new SSL bufferevent to send its data over another bufferevent.
EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL int | bufferevent_openssl_get_allow_dirty_shutdown (struct bufferevent *bev)
| Control how to report dirty SSL shutdowns.
EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL struct ssl_st * | bufferevent_openssl_get_ssl (struct bufferevent *bufev)
| Return the underlying openssl SSL * object for an SSL bufferevent.
EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL void | bufferevent_openssl_set_allow_dirty_shutdown (struct bufferevent *bev, int allow_dirty_shutdown)
EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL struct bufferevent * | bufferevent_openssl_socket_new (struct event_base *base, evutil_socket_t fd, struct ssl_st *ssl, enum bufferevent_ssl_state state, int options)

EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL int | bufferevent_ssl_renegotiate (struct bufferevent *bev)
| Tells a bufferevent to begin SSL renegotiation.

## Detailed Description

OpenSSL support for bufferevents.

## Function Documentation

## ◆ bufferevent_openssl_filter_new()

EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL struct bufferevent * bufferevent_openssl_filter_new | ( | struct event_base * | base,
|  | struct bufferevent * | underlying,
|  | struct ssl_st * | ssl,
|  | enum bufferevent_ssl_state | state,
|  | int | options )

Create a new SSL bufferevent to send its data over another bufferevent.

Parameters

  base | An event_base to use to detect reading and writing. It must also be the base for the underlying bufferevent.
  underlying | A socket to use for this SSL
  ssl | A SSL* object from openssl.
  state | The current state of the SSL connection
  options | One or more bufferevent_options

Returns
  A new bufferevent on success, or NULL on failure

## ◆ bufferevent_openssl_get_allow_dirty_shutdown()

EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL int bufferevent_openssl_get_allow_dirty_shutdown | ( | struct bufferevent * | bev | ) |

Control how to report dirty SSL shutdowns.

If the peer (or the network, or an attacker) closes the TCP connection before closing the SSL channel, and the protocol is SSL >= v3, this is a "dirty" shutdown. If allow_dirty_shutdown is 0 (default), this is reported as BEV_EVENT_ERROR.

If instead allow_dirty_shutdown=1, a dirty shutdown is reported as BEV_EVENT_EOF.

(Note that if the protocol is < SSLv3, you will always receive BEV_EVENT_EOF, since SSL 2 and earlier cannot distinguish a secure connection close from a dirty one. This is one reason (among many) not to use SSL 2.)

## ◆ bufferevent_openssl_socket_new()

EVENT2_EXPORT_SYMBOL struct bufferevent * bufferevent_openssl_socket_new | ( | struct event_base * | base,
|  | evutil_socket_t | fd,
|  | struct ssl_st * | ssl,
|  | enum bufferevent_ssl_state | state,
|  | int | options )

Create a new SSL bufferevent to send its data over an SSL * on a socket.

Parameters

  base | An event_base to use to detect reading and writing
  fd | A socket to use for this SSL
  ssl | A SSL* object from openssl.
  state | The current state of the SSL connection
  options | One or more bufferevent_options

Returns
  A new bufferevent on success, or NULL on failure.
