Ralf S. Engelschall fcc6c7199b Puhhh... now we've documented the prototypes of all 214 API "functions". This
is a pain to do, because of the various macro definitions which I had to
expand manually to get their prototype :-(

What's now needed is a volunteer who wants to write down one or two sentences
per API function to document it a little bit...

=head1 NAME
SSL - OpenSSL SSL/TLS library
=head1 SYNOPSIS
=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.
=head1 HEADERS
Currently the OpenSSL B<ssl> library provides the following C header files
containing the prototypes for the data structures and and functions:
=over 4
=item B<ssl.h>
That's the common header file for the SSL/TLS API. Include it into your
program to make the API of the B<ssl> library available. It internally
includes both more private SSL headers and headers from the B<crypto> library.
=back
=head1 STRUCTURES
Currently the OpenSSL B<ssl> library functions deal with the following data
structures:
=over 4
=item B<SSL_CTX> (SSL Context)
=item B<SSL> (SSL Connection)
That's the SSL/TLS structure which is created by
a server or client per established connection.
=item B<SSL_METHOD> (SSL Method)
=item B<SSL_CIPHER> (SSL Cipher)
=item B<SSL_SESSION> (SSL Session)
=back
=head1 FUNCTIONS
Currently the OpenSSL B<ssl> library exports 214 API functions.
They are documented in the following:
