An \s-1ASYNC_WAIT_CTX\s0 object represents an asynchronous \&\*(L"session\*(R", i.e. a related set of crypto operations. For example in \s-1SSL\s0 terms this would have a one-to-one correspondence with an \s-1SSL\s0 connection. .PP Application code must create an \s-1ASYNC_WAIT_CTX\s0 using the \fBASYNC_WAIT_CTX_new()\fR function prior to calling \fBASYNC_start_job()\fR (see \fBASYNC_start_job\fR\|(3)). When the job is started it is associated with the \s-1ASYNC_WAIT_CTX\s0 for the duration of that job. An \s-1ASYNC_WAIT_CTX\s0 should only be used for one \s-1ASYNC_JOB\s0 at any one time, but can be reused after an \s-1ASYNC_JOB\s0 has finished for a subsequent \&\s-1ASYNC_JOB.\s0 When the session is complete (e.g. the \s-1SSL\s0 connection is closed), application code cleans up with \fBASYNC_WAIT_CTX_free()\fR. .PP ASYNC_WAIT_CTXs can have \*(L"wait\*(R" file descriptors associated with them. Calling \&\fBASYNC_WAIT_CTX_get_all_fds()\fR and passing in a pointer to an \s-1ASYNC_WAIT_CTX\s0 in the \fBctx\fR parameter will return the wait file descriptors associated with that job in \fB*fd\fR. The number of file descriptors returned will be stored in \&\fB*numfds\fR. It is the caller's responsibility to ensure that sufficient memory has been allocated in \fB*fd\fR to receive all the file descriptors. Calling \&\fBASYNC_WAIT_CTX_get_all_fds()\fR with a \s-1NULL\s0 \fBfd\fR value will return no file descriptors but will still populate \fB*numfds\fR. Therefore, application code is typically expected to call this function twice: once to get the number of fds, and then again when sufficient memory has been allocated. If only one asynchronous engine is being used then normally this call will only ever return one fd. If multiple asynchronous engines are being used then more could be returned. .PP The function \fBASYNC_WAIT_CTX_get_changed_fds()\fR can be used to detect if any fds have changed since the last call time \fBASYNC_start_job()\fR returned an \s-1ASYNC_PAUSE\s0 result (or since the \s-1ASYNC_WAIT_CTX\s0 was created if no \s-1ASYNC_PAUSE\s0 result has been received). The \fBnumaddfds\fR and \fBnumdelfds\fR parameters will be populated with the number of fds added or deleted respectively. \fB*addfd\fR and \fB*delfd\fR will be populated with the list of added and deleted fds respectively. Similarly to \fBASYNC_WAIT_CTX_get_all_fds()\fR either of these can be \s-1NULL,\s0 but if they are not \&\s-1NULL\s0 then the caller is responsible for ensuring sufficient memory is allocated. .PP Implementors of async aware code (e.g. engines) are encouraged to return a stable fd for the lifetime of the \s-1ASYNC_WAIT_CTX\s0 in order to reduce the \*(L"churn\*(R" of regularly changing fds \- although no guarantees of this are provided to applications. .PP Applications can wait for the file descriptor to be ready for \*(L"read\*(R" using a system function call such as select or poll (being ready for \*(L"read\*(R" indicates that the job should be resumed). If no file descriptor is made available then an application will have to periodically \*(L"poll\*(R" the job by attempting to restart it to see if it is ready to continue. .PP Async aware code (e.g. engines) can get the current \s-1ASYNC_WAIT_CTX\s0 from the job via \fBASYNC_get_wait_ctx\fR\|(3) and provide a file descriptor to use for waiting on by calling \fBASYNC_WAIT_CTX_set_wait_fd()\fR. Typically this would be done by an engine immediately prior to calling \fBASYNC_pause_job()\fR and not by end user code. An existing association with a file descriptor can be obtained using \&\fBASYNC_WAIT_CTX_get_fd()\fR and cleared using \fBASYNC_WAIT_CTX_clear_fd()\fR. Both of these functions requires a \fBkey\fR value which is unique to the async aware code. This could be any unique value but a good candidate might be the \&\fB\s-1ENGINE\s0 *\fR for the engine. The \fBcustom_data\fR parameter can be any value, and will be returned in a subsequent call to \fBASYNC_WAIT_CTX_get_fd()\fR. The \&\fBASYNC_WAIT_CTX_set_wait_fd()\fR function also expects a pointer to a \*(L"cleanup\*(R" routine. This can be \s-1NULL\s0 but if provided will automatically get called when the \s-1ASYNC_WAIT_CTX\s0 is freed, and gives the engine the opportunity to close the fd or any other resources. Note: The \*(L"cleanup\*(R" routine does not get called if the fd is cleared directly via a call to \fBASYNC_WAIT_CTX_clear_fd()\fR. .PP An example of typical usage might be an async capable engine. User code would initiate cryptographic operations. The engine would initiate those operations asynchronously and then call \fBASYNC_WAIT_CTX_set_wait_fd()\fR followed by \&\fBASYNC_pause_job()\fR to return control to the user code. The user code can then perform other tasks or wait for the job to be ready by calling \*(L"select\*(R" or other similar function on the wait file descriptor. The engine can signal to the user code that the job should be resumed by making the wait file descriptor \&\*(L"readable\*(R". Once resumed the engine should clear the wake signal on the wait file descriptor. .SH "RETURN VALUES" .IX Header "RETURN VALUES" \&\fBASYNC_WAIT_CTX_new()\fR returns a pointer to the newly allocated \s-1ASYNC_WAIT_CTX\s0 or \&\s-1NULL\s0 on error. .PP ASYNC_WAIT_CTX_set_wait_fd, ASYNC_WAIT_CTX_get_fd, ASYNC_WAIT_CTX_get_all_fds, ASYNC_WAIT_CTX_get_changed_fds and ASYNC_WAIT_CTX_clear_fd all return 1 on success or 0 on error. .SH "NOTES" .IX Header "NOTES" On Windows platforms the openssl/async.h header is dependent on some of the types customarily made available by including windows.h. The application developer is likely to require control over when the latter is included, commonly as one of the first included headers. Therefore, it is defined as an application developer's responsibility to include windows.h prior to async.h. .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" \&\fBcrypto\fR\|(7), \fBASYNC_start_job\fR\|(3) .SH "HISTORY" .IX Header "HISTORY" \&\fBASYNC_WAIT_CTX_new()\fR, \fBASYNC_WAIT_CTX_free()\fR, \fBASYNC_WAIT_CTX_set_wait_fd()\fR, \&\fBASYNC_WAIT_CTX_get_fd()\fR, \fBASYNC_WAIT_CTX_get_all_fds()\fR, \&\fBASYNC_WAIT_CTX_get_changed_fds()\fR and \fBASYNC_WAIT_CTX_clear_fd()\fR were added in OpenSSL 1.1.0. .SH "COPYRIGHT" .IX Header "COPYRIGHT" Copyright 2016\-2020 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
