        You aren't asking a precise question. For example, if there's data that
could be read on the socket, but it's just a chunk of SSL protocol data with
no application data, does that mean data is ready to be read? Or not? If you
want to tell if there's data that the kernel has received over the network
that the SSL engine has not yet processed, 'select' can tell you that. Or
are you trying to find out if there's data that's ready for the application
that's already been processed by SSL? Or are you trying to tell if you
should ask the SSL engine to process data in the hopes of producing data for
the application to read?
