Looking at the current documentation, these functions are described the
following way:
BIO_should_read() is true if the cause of the condition is that the BIO
has insufficient data to return. Check for readability and/or retry the
last operation.
BIO_should_write() is true if the cause of the condition is that the BIO
has pending data to write. Check for writability and/or retry the
last operation.
As far as I can tell, the documentation has been fixed (and improved) so
I'll mark this bug as Fix Released.
** Changed in: openssl (Ubuntu)

Title:
The BIO_should_retry manual page misdocuments the behavior of the
BIO_should_read
Status in openssl package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
The BIO_should_retry manual page contains this text:
BIO_should_write() is true if the cause of the condition is that a
BIO needs to read data.
Many of the OpenSSL APIs are confusing enough that I could believe
this is really true, but the manual page also says:
BIO_should_read() is true if the cause of the condition is that a
BIO needs to read data.
I doubt that both BIO_should_read and BIO_should_write mean the BIO
needs to read data. Probably BIO_should_write means the BIO needs to
write data.
