     NAME
          SSL_set_connect_state, SSL_get_accept_state - prepare SSL
          object to work in client or server mode

     SYNOPSIS
           #include <openssl/ssl.h>

           void SSL_set_connect_state(SSL *ssl);

           void SSL_set_accept_state(SSL *ssl);

     DESCRIPTION
          SSL_set_connect_state() sets ssl to work in client mode.

          SSL_set_accept_state() sets ssl to work in server mode.

     NOTES
          When the SSL_CTX object was created with SSL_CTX_new(3), it
          was either assigned a dedicated client method, a dedicated
          server method, or a generic method, that can be used for
          both client and server connections. (The method might have
          been changed with SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version(3) or
          SSL_set_ssl_method().)

          When beginning a new handshake, the SSL engine must know
          whether it must call the connect (client) or accept (server)
          routines. Even though it may be clear from the method
          chosen, whether client or server mode was requested, the
          handshake routines must be explicitly set.

          When using the SSL_connect(3) or SSL_accept(3) routines, the
          correct handshake routines are automatically set. When
          performing a transparent negotiation using SSL_write(3) or
          SSL_read(3), the handshake routines must be explicitly set
          in advance using either SSL_set_connect_state() or
          SSL_set_accept_state().

     RETURN VALUES
          SSL_set_connect_state() and SSL_set_accept_state() do not
          return diagnostic information.
