+\&
+\& ossl_ssize_t SSL_sendfile(SSL *s, int fd, off_t offset, size_t size, int flags);

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+\&\fBSSL_write_ex()\fR and \fBSSL_write()\fR write \fBnum\fR bytes from the buffer \fBbuf\fR into
+the specified \fBssl\fR connection. On success \fBSSL_write_ex()\fR will store the number
+of bytes written in \fB*written\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBSSL_sendfile()\fR writes \fBsize\fR bytes from offset \fBoffset\fR in the file
+descriptor \fBfd\fR to the specified SSL connection \fBs\fR. This function provides
+efficient zero-copy semantics. \fBSSL_sendfile()\fR is available only when
+Kernel TLS is enabled, which can be checked by calling \fBBIO_get_ktls_send()\fR.
+It is provided here to allow users to maintain the same interface.
+The meaning of \fBflags\fR is platform dependent.
+Currently, under Linux it is ignored.
+.SH NOTES
+.IX Header "NOTES"
+In the paragraphs below a "write function" is defined as one of either
+\&\fBSSL_write_ex()\fR, or \fBSSL_write()\fR.
+.PP
+If necessary, a write function will negotiate a TLS/SSL session, if not already
+explicitly performed by \fBSSL_connect\fR\|(3) or \fBSSL_accept\fR\|(3). If the peer
+requests a re-negotiation, it will be performed transparently during
+the write function operation. The behaviour of the write functions depends on the
+underlying BIO.
+.PP
+For the transparent negotiation to succeed, the \fBssl\fR must have been
+initialized to client or server mode. This is being done by calling
+\&\fBSSL_set_connect_state\fR\|(3) or \fBSSL_set_accept_state()\fR
+before the first call to a write function.
+.PP
+If the underlying BIO is \fBblocking\fR, the write functions will only return, once
+the write operation has been finished or an error occurred.
+.PP
+If the underlying BIO is \fBnonblocking\fR the write functions will also return
+when the underlying BIO could not satisfy the needs of the function to continue
+the operation. In this case a call to \fBSSL_get_error\fR\|(3) with the
+return value of the write function will yield \fBSSL_ERROR_WANT_READ\fR
+or \fBSSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE\fR. As at any time a re-negotiation is possible, a
+call to a write function can also cause read operations! The calling process
+then must repeat the call after taking appropriate action to satisfy the needs
+of the write function. The action depends on the underlying BIO. When using a
+nonblocking socket, nothing is to be done, but \fBselect()\fR can be used to check
+for the required condition. When using a buffering BIO, like a BIO pair, data
+must be written into or retrieved out of the BIO before being able to continue.
+.PP
+The write functions will only return with success when the complete contents of
+\&\fBbuf\fR of length \fBnum\fR has been written. This default behaviour can be changed
+with the SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE option of \fBSSL_CTX_set_mode\fR\|(3). When
+this flag is set the write functions will also return with success when a
+partial write has been successfully completed. In this case the write function
+operation is considered completed. The bytes are sent and a new write call with
+a new buffer (with the already sent bytes removed) must be started. A partial
+write is performed with the size of a message block, which is 16kB.
+.PP
+When used with a QUIC SSL object, calling an I/O function such as \fBSSL_write()\fR
+allows internal network event processing to be performed. It is important that
+this processing is performed regularly. If an application is not using thread
+assisted mode, an application should ensure that an I/O function such as
+\&\fBSSL_write()\fR is called regularly, or alternatively ensure that \fBSSL_handle_events()\fR
+is called regularly. See \fBopenssl\-quic\fR\|(7) and \fBSSL_handle_events\fR\|(3) for more
+information.
+.SH WARNINGS
+.IX Header "WARNINGS"
+When a write function call has to be repeated because \fBSSL_get_error\fR\|(3)
+returned \fBSSL_ERROR_WANT_READ\fR or \fBSSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE\fR, it must be repeated
+with the same arguments.
+The data that was passed might have been partially processed.
+When \fBSSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER\fR was set using \fBSSL_CTX_set_mode\fR\|(3)
+the pointer can be different, but the data and length should still be the same.
+.PP
+You should not call \fBSSL_write()\fR with num=0, it will return an error.
+\&\fBSSL_write_ex()\fR can be called with num=0, but will not send application data to
+the peer.
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
+\&\fBSSL_write_ex()\fR will return 1 for success or 0 for failure. Success means that
+all requested application data bytes have been written to the SSL connection or,
+if SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE is in use, at least 1 application data byte has
+been written to the SSL connection. Failure means that not all the requested
+bytes have been written yet (if SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE is not in use) or
+no bytes could be written to the SSL connection (if
+SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE is in use). Failures can be retryable (e.g. the
+network write buffer has temporarily filled up) or non-retryable (e.g. a fatal
+network error). In the event of a failure call \fBSSL_get_error\fR\|(3) to find out
+the reason which indicates whether the call is retryable or not.
+.PP
+For \fBSSL_write()\fR the following return values can occur:
+.IP "> 0" 4
+.IX Item "> 0"
+The write operation was successful, the return value is the number of
+bytes actually written to the TLS/SSL connection.
+.IP "<= 0" 4
+.IX Item "<= 0"
+The write operation was not successful, because either the connection was
+closed, an error occurred or action must be taken by the calling process.
+Call \fBSSL_get_error()\fR with the return value \fBret\fR to find out the reason.
+.Sp
+Old documentation indicated a difference between 0 and \-1, and that \-1 was
+retryable.
+You should instead call \fBSSL_get_error()\fR to find out if it's retryable.
+.PP
+For \fBSSL_sendfile()\fR, the following return values can occur:
+.IP ">= 0" 4
+.IX Item ">= 0"
+The write operation was successful, the return value is the number
+of bytes of the file written to the TLS/SSL connection. The return
+value can be less than \fBsize\fR for a partial write.
+.IP "< 0" 4
+.IX Item "< 0"
+The write operation was not successful, because either the connection was
+closed, an error occurred or action must be taken by the calling process.
+Call \fBSSL_get_error()\fR with the return value to find out the reason.
