This specifies the host and optional port to connect to. If not specified
data, with the last of these encoded in hexadecimal. Optional
whitespace is ignored in the associated data field. For example:

1a2b3c4d.

+
+These options require or disable the use of the specified SSL or TLS protocols.
+By default B<s_client> will negotiate the highest mutually supported protocol
+version.
+When a specific TLS version is required, only that version will be offered to
+and accepted from the server.
-these options disable the use of certain SSL or TLS protocols. By default
-the initial handshake uses a method which should be compatible with all
-servers and permit them to use SSL v3 or TLS as appropriate.
+=item B<-dtls>, B<-dtls1>, B<-dtls1_2>
-Unfortunately there are still ancient and broken servers in use which
-cannot handle this technique and will fail to connect. Some servers only
-work if TLS is turned off.
+These options make B<s_client> use DTLS protocols instead of TLS.
+With B<-dtls>, B<s_client> will negotiate any supported DTLS protocol version,
+whilst B<-dtls1> and B<-dtls1_2> will only support DTLS1.0 and DTLS1.2
+respectively.
=item B<-fallback_scsv>
is also used via the B<-engine> option. For test purposes the dummy async engine
(dasync) can be used (if available).
+=item B<-split_send_frag int>
+
+The size used to split data for encrypt pipelines. If more data is written in
+one go than this value then it will be split into multiple pipelines, up to the
+maximum number of pipelines defined by max_pipelines. This only has an effect if
+a suitable ciphersuite has been negotiated, an engine that supports pipelining
+has been loaded, and max_pipelines is greater than 1. See
+L<SSL_CTX_set_split_send_fragment(3)> for further information.
+
+=item B<-max_pipelines int>
+
+The maximum number of encrypt/decrypt pipelines to be used. This will only have
+an effect if an engine has been loaded that supports pipelining (e.g. the dasync
+engine) and a suitable ciphersuite has been negotiated. The default value is 1.
+See L<SSL_CTX_set_max_pipelines(3)> for further information.
+
+=item B<-read_buf int>
+
+The default read buffer size to be used for connections. This will only have an
+effect if the buffer size is larger than the size that would otherwise be used
+and pipelining is in use (see L<SSL_CTX_set_default_read_buffer_len(3)> for
+further information).
+
=item B<-bugs>
there are several known bug in SSL and TLS implementations. Adding this
option enables various workarounds.
+=item B<-comp>
+
+Enables support for SSL/TLS compression.
+This option was introduced in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
+TLS compression is not recommended and is off by default as of
+OpenSSL 1.1.0.
+
+=item B<-no_comp>
+
+Disables support for SSL/TLS compression.
+TLS compression is not recommended and is off by default as of
+OpenSSL 1.1.0.
+
=item B<-brief>

=item B<-no_ticket>
-disable RFC4507bis session ticket support.
+disable RFC4507bis session ticket support.
=item B<-sess_out filename>
a file or files containing random data used to seed the random number
generator, or an EGD socket (see L<RAND_egd(3)>).
-Multiple files can be specified separated by a OS-dependent character.
+Multiple files can be specified separated by an OS-dependent character.
The separator is B<;> for MS-Windows, B<,> for OpenVMS, and B<:> for
all others.
=item B<-serverinfo types>
-a list of comma-separated TLS Extension Types (numbers between 0 and
+a list of comma-separated TLS Extension Types (numbers between 0 and
65535). Each type will be sent as an empty ClientHello TLS Extension.
The server's response (if any) will be encoded and displayed as a PEM
file.
advertise support for the TLS extension but disconnect just after
receiving ServerHello with a list of server supported protocols.
+=item B<-ct|noct>
+
+Use one of these two options to control whether Certificate Transparency (CT)
+is enabled (B<-ct>) or disabled (B<-noct>).
+If CT is enabled, signed certificate timestamps (SCTs) will be requested from
+the server and reported at handshake completion.
+
+Enabling CT also enables OCSP stapling, as this is one possible delivery method
+for SCTs.
+
+=item B<-ctlogfile>
+
+A file containing a list of known Certificate Transparency logs. See
+L<SSL_CTX_set_ctlog_list_file(3)> for the expected file format.

=head1 BUGS
-Because this program has a lot of options and also because some of
-the techniques used are rather old, the C source of s_client is rather
-hard to read and not a model of how things should be done. A typical
-SSL client program would be much simpler.

+A typical SSL client program would be much simpler.
The B<-prexit> option is a bit of a hack. We should really report
information whenever a session is renegotiated.
The -no_alt_chains options was first added to OpenSSL 1.1.0.
