[stunnel-users] Amount of FD's per connection

[Koornstra, Reinoud]

Thanks for your answer.
I am looking from the server perspective.
A client makes a connection towards the server, when a client connects the master pid spwans a stunnel thread, hence it needs a fd for that and one for the socket towards the client?
Kind Regards,

Reinoud.

Normally there are only two file descriptors used by each thread: one for
the sockets towards the client and one for the socket towards the server.
Additional descriptors may be used at creating of a new connection, e.g. to
perform OCSP check or to validate username with ident protocol.
