Rich Salz 9b86974e0c Fix L<> content in manpages
L<foo|foo> is sub-optimal  If the xref is the same as the title,
which is what we do, then you only need L<foo>.  This fixes all
1457 occurrences in 349 files.  Approximately.  (And pod used to
need both.)

=head1 NAME
SSL_want, SSL_want_nothing, SSL_want_read, SSL_want_write, SSL_want_x509_lookup - obtain state information TLS/SSL I/O operation
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
int SSL_want(const SSL *ssl);
int SSL_want_nothing(const SSL *ssl);
int SSL_want_read(const SSL *ssl);
int SSL_want_write(const SSL *ssl);
int SSL_want_x509_lookup(const SSL *ssl);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
SSL_want() returns state information for the SSL object B<ssl>.
The other SSL_want_*() calls are shortcuts for the possible states returned
by SSL_want().
=head1 NOTES
SSL_want() examines the internal state information of the SSL object. Its
return values are similar to that of L<SSL_get_error(3)>.
Unlike L<SSL_get_error(3)>, which also evaluates the
error queue, the results are obtained by examining an internal state flag
only. The information must therefore only be used for normal operation under
non-blocking I/O. Error conditions are not handled and must be treated
using L<SSL_get_error(3)>.
The result returned by SSL_want() should always be consistent with
the result of L<SSL_get_error(3)>.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
The following return values can currently occur for SSL_want():
=over 4
=item SSL_NOTHING
There is no data to be written or to be read.
=item SSL_WRITING
There are data in the SSL buffer that must be written to the underlying
B<BIO> layer in order to complete the actual SSL_*() operation.
A call to L<SSL_get_error(3)> should return
SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE.
=item SSL_READING
More data must be read from the underlying B<BIO> layer in order to
complete the actual SSL_*() operation.
A call to L<SSL_get_error(3)> should return
SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ.
=item SSL_X509_LOOKUP
The operation did not complete because an application callback set by
SSL_CTX_set_client_cert_cb() has asked to be called again.
A call to L<SSL_get_error(3)> should return
SSL_ERROR_WANT_X509_LOOKUP.
=back
SSL_want_nothing(), SSL_want_read(), SSL_want_write(), SSL_want_x509_lookup()
return 1, when the corresponding condition is true or 0 otherwise.
