 .Pp
-There are underlying TLS engine read or write operations which may
-not correspond with the name of the function called.
-For example, it is possible to receive a
-.Dv TLS_READ_AGAIN
-even when calling
-.Fn tls_write .
-.Pp
-While there are cases where these functions will return one or the
-other or both, the best practice is to always check for both.
-In all cases the same function call should be repeated.
+In the case of blocking file descriptors, the same function call should be
+repeated immediately.
+In the case of non-blocking file descriptors, the same function call should be
+repeated when the required condition has been met.
