SSL_Create()—Enable SSL Support for the Specified Socket Descriptor
Syntax
#include
SSLHandle* SSL_Create(int socket_descriptor,
int flags)
Service Program Name: QSOSSLSR
Default Public Authority: *USE
Threadsafe: Yes
The SSL_Create() function is used by a program to enable SSL support for the specified socket descriptor.
Parameters
int socket_descriptor (input)
The descriptor of the socket to be used for the SSL session. The socket descriptor must have been
created (using the socket() API) with a type of SOCK_STREAM and an address family of AF_INET
or AF_INET6.
int flags (input)
A flag value that controls the use of SSL for the session. The flags value is either zero, or is
obtained by the ORing of the following constant:
