+SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version, SSL_set_ssl_method, SSL_get_ssl_method
+- choose a new TLS/SSL method
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include <openssl/ssl.h>
+
+ int SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version(SSL_CTX *ctx, SSL_METHOD *method);
+ int SSL_set_ssl_method(SSL *s, SSL_METHOD *method);
+ SSL_METHOD *SSL_get_ssl_method(SSL *ssl);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version() sets a new default TLS/SSL B<method> for SSL objects
+newly created from this B<ctx>. SSL objects already created with
+L<SSL_new(3)|SSL_new(3)> are not affected, except when SSL_clear() is
+being called.
+
+SSL_set_ssl_method() sets a new TLS/SSL B<method> for a particular B<ssl>
+object. It may be reset, when SSL_clear() is called.
+
+SSL_get_ssl_method() returns a function pointer to the TLS/SSL method
+set in B<ssl>.
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+The available B<method> choices are described in
+L<SSL_CTX_new(3)|SSL_CTX_new(3)>.
+
+When SSL_clear() is called and no session is connected to an SSL object,
+the method of the SSL object is reset to the method currently set in
+the corresponding SSL_CTX object.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+The following return values can occur for SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version()
+and SSL_set_ssl_method():
+

+The new choice failed, check the error stack to find out the reason.

+The operation succeeded.

+=head1 NAME
+
+SSL_pending - obtain number of readable bytes buffered in an SSL object
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include <openssl/ssl.h>
+
+ int SSL_pending(SSL *ssl);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+SSL_pending() returns the number of bytes which are available inside
+B<ssl> for immediate read.
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+Data are received in blocks from the peer. Therefore data can be buffered
+inside B<ssl> and are ready for immediate retrieval with
+L<SSL_read(3)|SSL_read(3)>.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+The number of bytes pending is returned.
+
