87 will also return when the underlying
89 could not satisfy the needs of
91 to continue the handshake, indicating the problem by the return value \(mi1.
92 In this case a call to

101 The calling process then must repeat the call after taking appropriate action

106 When using a non-blocking socket, nothing is to be done, but
108 can be used to check for the required condition.
109 When using a buffering
113 pair, data must be written into or retrieved out of the

117 The following return values can occur:
120 The TLS/SSL handshake was not successful but was shut down controlled and by
121 the specifications of the TLS/SSL protocol.

126 to find out the reason.
128 The TLS/SSL handshake was successfully completed,
129 and a TLS/SSL connection has been established.
131 The TLS/SSL handshake was not successful because a fatal error occurred either
132 at the protocol level or a connection failure occurred.
133 The shutdown was not clean.
