=pod =head1 NAME SSL_library_init, OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms, SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms - initialize SSL library by registering algorithms =head1 SYNOPSIS #include int SSL_library_init(void); #define OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms() SSL_library_init() #define SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms() SSL_library_init() =head1 DESCRIPTION SSL_library_init() registers the available ciphers and digests. OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms() and SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms() are synonyms for SSL_library_init(). =head1 NOTES SSL_library_init() must be called before any other action takes place. =head1 WARNING SSL_library_init() only registers ciphers. Another important initialization is the seeding of the PRNG (Pseudo Random Number Generator), which has to be performed separately. =head1 EXAMPLES A typical TLS/SSL application will start with the library initialization, will provide readable error messages and will seed the PRNG. SSL_load_error_strings(); /* readable error messages */ SSL_library_init(); /* initialize library */ actions_to_seed_PRNG(); =head1 RETURN VALUES SSL_library_init() always returns "1", so it is safe to discard the return value. =head1 SEE ALSO L, L, L =cut
