+.SH NAME
+SSL_handle_events \- advance asynchronous state machine and perform network I/O
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
+.Vb 1
+\& #include <openssl/ssl.h>
+\&
+\& int SSL_handle_events(SSL *ssl);
+.Ve
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+\&\fBSSL_handle_events()\fR performs any internal processing which is due on a SSL object. The
+exact operations performed by \fBSSL_handle_events()\fR vary depending on what kind of protocol
+is being used with the given SSL object. For example, \fBSSL_handle_events()\fR may handle
+timeout events which have become due, or may attempt, to the extent currently
+possible, to perform network I/O operations on one of the BIOs underlying the
+SSL object.
+.PP
+The primary use case for \fBSSL_handle_events()\fR is to allow an application which uses
+OpenSSL in nonblocking mode to give OpenSSL an opportunity to handle timer
+events, or to respond to the availability of new data to be read from an
+underlying BIO, or to respond to the opportunity to write pending data to an
+underlying BIO.
+.PP
+\&\fBSSL_handle_events()\fR can be used only with the following types of SSL object:
+.IP "DTLS SSL objects" 4
+.IX Item "DTLS SSL objects"
+Using \fBSSL_handle_events()\fR on an SSL object being used with a DTLS method allows timeout
+events to be handled properly. This is equivalent to a call to
+\&\fBDTLSv1_handle_timeout\fR\|(3). Since \fBSSL_handle_events()\fR handles a superset of the use
+cases of \fBDTLSv1_handle_timeout\fR\|(3), it should be preferred for new
+applications which do not require support for OpenSSL 3.1 or older.
+.Sp
+When using DTLS, an application must call \fBSSL_handle_events()\fR as indicated by
+calls to \fBSSL_get_event_timeout\fR\|(3); event handling is not performed
+automatically by calls to other SSL functions such as \fBSSL_read\fR\|(3) or
+\&\fBSSL_write\fR\|(3). Note that this is different to QUIC which also performs event
+handling implicitly; see below.
+.IP "QUIC connection SSL objects" 4
+.IX Item "QUIC connection SSL objects"
+Using \fBSSL_handle_events()\fR on an SSL object which represents a QUIC connection allows
+timeout events to be handled properly, as well as incoming network data to be
+processed, and queued outgoing network data to be written, if the underlying BIO
+has the capacity to accept it.
+.Sp
+Ordinarily, when an application uses an SSL object in blocking mode, it does not
+need to call \fBSSL_handle_events()\fR because OpenSSL performs ticking internally on an
+automatic basis. However, if an application uses a QUIC connection in
+nonblocking mode, it must at a minimum ensure that \fBSSL_handle_events()\fR is called
+periodically to allow timeout events to be handled. An application can find out
+when it next needs to call \fBSSL_handle_events()\fR for this purpose (if at all) by calling
+\&\fBSSL_get_event_timeout\fR\|(3).
+.Sp
+Calling \fBSSL_handle_events()\fR on a QUIC connection SSL object being used in blocking mode
+is not necessary unless no I/O calls (such as \fBSSL_read\fR\|(3) or \fBSSL_write\fR\|(3))
+will be made to the object for a substantial period of time. So long as at least
+one call to the SSL object is blocking, no such call is needed. However,
+\&\fBSSL_handle_events()\fR may optionally be used on a QUIC connection object if desired.
+.Sp
+With the thread-assisted mode of operation \fBOSSL_QUIC_client_thread_method\fR\|(3)
+it is unnecessary to call \fBSSL_handle_events()\fR as the assist thread handles the QUIC
+connection events.
+.PP
+Calling \fBSSL_handle_events()\fR on any other kind of SSL object is a no-op. This is
+considered a success case.
+.PP
+Note that \fBSSL_handle_events()\fR supersedes the older \fBDTLSv1_handle_timeout\fR\|(3) function
+for all use cases.
