     NAME
          SSL_state_string, SSL_state_string_long - get textual
          description of state of an SSL object

     SYNOPSIS
           #include <openssl/ssl.h>

           char *SSL_state_string(SSL *ssl);
           char *SSL_state_string_long(SSL *ssl);

     DESCRIPTION
          SSL_state_string() returns a 6 letter string indicating the
          current state of the SSL object ssl.

          SSL_state_string_long() returns a string indicating the
          current state of the SSL object ssl.

     NOTES
          During its use, an SSL objects passes several states. The
          state is internally maintained. Querying the state
          information is not very informative before or when a
          connection has been established. It however can be of
          significant interest during the handshake.

          When using non-blocking sockets, the function call
          performing the handshake may return with SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ
          or SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE condition, so that
          SSL_state_string[_long]() may be called.

          For both blocking or non-blocking sockets, the details state
          information can be used within the info_callback function
          set with the SSL_set_info_callback() call.

     RETURN VALUES
          Detailed description of possible states to be included
          later.
