SSL_CTX_SET_READ_AHEAD(3)           OpenSSL          SSL_CTX_SET_READ_AHEAD(3)
NAME
       SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead, SSL_CTX_get_read_ahead, SSL_set_read_ahead,
       SSL_get_read_ahead, SSL_CTX_get_default_read_ahead - manage whether to
       read as many input bytes as possible
SYNOPSIS
        #include <openssl/ssl.h>
        void SSL_set_read_ahead(SSL *s, int yes);
        int SSL_get_read_ahead(const SSL *s);
        SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead(SSL_CTX *ctx, int yes);
        long SSL_CTX_get_read_ahead(SSL_CTX *ctx);
        long SSL_CTX_get_default_read_ahead(SSL_CTX *ctx);
DESCRIPTION
       SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead() and SSL_set_read_ahead() set whether we should
       read as many input bytes as possible (for nonblocking reads) or not.
       For example if x bytes are currently required by OpenSSL, but y bytes
       are available from the underlying BIO (where y > x), then OpenSSL will
       read all y bytes into its buffer (providing that the buffer is large
       enough) if reading ahead is on, or x bytes otherwise.  Setting the
       parameter yes to 0 turns reading ahead is off, other values turn it on.
       SSL_CTX_set_default_read_ahead() is identical to
       SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead().
       SSL_CTX_get_read_ahead() and SSL_get_read_ahead() indicate whether
       reading ahead has been set or not.  SSL_CTX_get_default_read_ahead() is
       identical to SSL_CTX_get_read_ahead().
NOTES
       These functions have no impact when used with DTLS. The return values
       for SSL_CTX_get_read_head() and SSL_get_read_ahead() are undefined for
       DTLS. Setting read_ahead can impact the behaviour of the SSL_pending()
       function (see SSL_pending(3)).
       Since SSL_read() can return SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ for non-application
       data records, and SSL_has_pending() can't tell the difference between
       processed and unprocessed data, it's recommended that if read ahead is
       turned on that SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY is not turned off using
       SSL_CTX_clear_mode().  That will prevent getting SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ
       when there is still a complete record available that hasn't been
       processed.
       If the application wants to continue to use the underlying transport
       (e.g. TCP connection) after the SSL connection is finished using
       SSL_shutdown() reading ahead should be turned off.  Otherwise the SSL
       structure might read data that it shouldn't.
RETURN VALUES
       SSL_get_read_ahead() and SSL_CTX_get_read_ahead() return 0 if reading
       ahead is off, and non zero otherwise.
