.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_write_ex2()\fR functions similarly to \fBSSL_write_ex()\fR but can also accept
+optional flags which modify its behaviour. Calling \fBSSL_write_ex2()\fR with a
+\&\fIflags\fR argument of 0 is exactly equivalent to calling \fBSSL_write_ex()\fR.
+.PP
\&\fBSSL_sendfile()\fR writes \fBsize\fR bytes from offset \fBoffset\fR in the file
-descriptor \fBfd\fR to the specified \s-1SSL\s0 connection \fBs\fR. This function provides
+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 \s-1TLS\s0 is enabled, which can be checked by calling \fBBIO_get_ktls_send()\fR.
+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"
+.PP
+The \fIflags\fR argument to \fBSSL_write_ex2()\fR can accept zero or more of the
+following flags. Note that which flags are supported will depend on the kind of
+SSL object and underlying protocol being used:
+.IP \fBSSL_WRITE_FLAG_CONCLUDE\fR 4
+.IX Item "SSL_WRITE_FLAG_CONCLUDE"
+This flag is only supported on QUIC stream SSL objects (or QUIC connection SSL
+objects with a default stream attached).
+.Sp
+If this flag is set, and the call to \fBSSL_write_ex2()\fR succeeds, and all of the
+data passed to the call is written (meaning that \f(CW\*(C`*written == num\*(C'\fR), the
+relevant QUIC stream's send part is concluded automatically as though
+\&\fBSSL_stream_conclude\fR\|(3) was called (causing transmission of a FIN for the
+stream).
+.Sp
+While using this flag is semantically equivalent to calling
+\&\fBSSL_stream_conclude\fR\|(3) after a successful call to this function, using this
+flag enables greater efficiency than making these two API calls separately, as
+it enables the written stream data and the FIN flag indicating the end of the
+stream to be scheduled as part of the same QUIC STREAM frame and QUIC packet.
+.Sp
+Setting this flag does not cause a stream's send part to be concluded if not all
+of the data passed to the call was consumed.
+.PP
+A call to \fBSSL_write_ex2()\fR fails if a flag is passed which is not supported or
+understood by the given SSL object. An application should determine if a flag is
+supported (for example, for \fBSSL_WRITE_FLAG_CONCLUDE\fR, that a QUIC stream SSL
+object is being used) before attempting to use it.

.PP
The write functions will only return with success when the complete contents of

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.
-.SH "WARNINGS"
+.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.
