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() ssl to work in client mode.

       SSL_set_accept_state() 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().)

       In order to successfully accomplish the handshake, the SSL
       routines need to know whether they should act in server or
       client mode. If the generic method was used, this is not
       clear from the method itself and must be set with either
       SSL_set_connect_state() or SSL_set_accept_state(). If
       these routines are not called, the default value set when
       SSL_new(3) is called is server mode.


RETURN VALUES

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