+    \brief When using non-blocking sockets with DTLS, this function retransmits
+    the last handshake flight ignoring the expected timeout value and
+    retransmit count. It is useful for applications that are using DTLS and
+    need to manage even the timeout and retry count.
+
+    \return SSL_SUCCESS will be returned upon success
+    \return SSL_FATAL_ERROR will be returned if there have been too many
+    retransmissions/timeouts without getting a response from the peer.
+
+    \param ssl a pointer to a WOLFSSL structure, created using wolfSSL_new().
+
+    _Example_
+    \code
+    int ret = 0;
+    WOLFSSL* ssl;
+    ...
+    ret = wolfSSL_dtls_retransmit(ssl);
