64 Data is received in whole blocks known as records from the peer.
65 A whole record is processed, for example decrypted, in one go and
66 is buffered until it is read by the application via a call to
70 returns the number of bytes which are available inside
75 takes into account only bytes from the TLS/SSL record that is
76 currently being processed (if any).
80 .Xr SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead 3 ) ,
81 additional protocol bytes beyond the current record may have been
82 read containing more TLS/SSL records.
83 This also applies to DTLS.
84 These additional bytes will be buffered but will remain unprocessed
85 until they are needed.
86 As these bytes are still in an unprocessed state,
89 Therefore it is possible for no more bytes to be readable from the
90 underlying BIO (because the library has already read them) and for
92 to return 0, even though readable application data bytes are available
93 (because the data is in unprocessed buffered records).
96 returns the number of buffered and processed application data
97 bytes that are pending and are available for immediate read.

109 did not check if the record type of pending data is application data.
