=head1 NAME
SSL - OpenSSL SSL/TLS library
=head1 SYNOPSIS
+See the individual manual pages for details.
+
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The OpenSSL B<ssl> library implements the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and
Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols. It provides a rich API which is
documented here.
-At first the library must be initialized; see
-L<SSL_library_init(3)>.
-
Then an B<SSL_CTX> object is created as a framework to establish
TLS/SSL enabled connections (see L<SSL_CTX_new(3)>).
Various options regarding certificates, algorithms etc. can be set
=head1 HEADER FILES
Currently the OpenSSL B<ssl> library provides the following C header files

Currently the OpenSSL B<ssl> library exports 214 API functions.
They are documented in the following:
