=head1 NAME
BIO_get_rpoll_descriptor, BIO_get_wpoll_descriptor - obtain a structure which
can be used to determine when a BIO object can next be read or written
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/bio.h>
typedef struct bio_poll_descriptor_st {
uint32_t type;
union {
int fd;
void *custom;
uintptr_t custom_ui;
} value;
} BIO_POLL_DESCRIPTOR;
int BIO_get_rpoll_descriptor(BIO *b, BIO_POLL_DESCRIPTOR *desc);
int BIO_get_wpoll_descriptor(BIO *b, BIO_POLL_DESCRIPTOR *desc);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
BIO_get_rpoll_descriptor() and BIO_get_wpoll_descriptor(), on success, fill
I<*desc> with a poll descriptor. A poll descriptor is a tagged union structure
which represents some kind of OS or non-OS resource which can be used to
synchronise on I/O availability events.
BIO_get_rpoll_descriptor() outputs a descriptor which can be used to determine
when the BIO can (potentially) next be read, and BIO_get_wpoll_descriptor()
outputs a descriptor which can be used to determine when the BIO can
(potentially) next be written.
It is permissible for BIO_get_rpoll_descriptor() and BIO_get_wpoll_descriptor()
to output the same descriptor.
Poll descriptors can represent different kinds of information. A typical kind of
resource which might be represented by a poll descriptor is an OS file
descriptor which can be used with APIs such as select().
The kinds of poll descriptor defined by OpenSSL are:
=over 4
=item BIO_POLL_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_NONE
Represents the absence of a valid poll descriptor. It may be used by
BIO_get_rpoll_descriptor() or BIO_get_wpoll_descriptor() to indicate that the
BIO is not pollable for readability or writeability respectively.
For this type, no field within the I<value> field of the B<BIO_POLL_DESCRIPTOR>
is valid.
=item BIO_POLL_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_SOCK_FD
The poll descriptor represents an OS socket resource. The field I<value.fd>
in the B<BIO_POLL_DESCRIPTOR> is valid if it is not set to -1.
The resource is whatever kind of handle is used by a given OS to represent
sockets, which may vary by OS. For example, on Windows, the value is a B<SOCKET>
for use with the Winsock API. On POSIX-like platforms, it is a file descriptor.
Where a poll descriptor of this type is output by BIO_get_rpoll_descriptor(), it
should be polled for readability to determine when the BIO might next be able to
successfully complete a BIO_read() operation; likewise, where a poll descriptor
of this type is output by BIO_get_wpoll_descriptor(), it should be polled for
writeability to determine when the BIO might next be able to successfully
complete a BIO_write() operation.
=item BIO_POLL_DESCRIPTOR_CUSTOM_START
Type values beginning with this value (inclusive) are reserved for application
allocation for custom poll descriptor types. Any of the definitions in the union
field I<value> can be used by the application arbitrarily as opaque values.
=back
Because poll descriptors are a tagged union structure, they can represent
different kinds of information. New types of poll descriptor may be defined,
including by applications, according to their needs.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
The functions BIO_get_rpoll_descriptor() and BIO_get_wpoll_descriptor() return 1
on success and 0 on failure.
These functions are permitted to succeed and initialise I<*desc> with a poll
descriptor of type B<BIO_POLL_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_NONE> to indicate that the BIO is
not pollable for readability or writeability respectively.

=head1 HISTORY
The SSL_get_rpoll_descriptor() and SSL_get_wpoll_descriptor() functions were
added in OpenSSL 3.2.
