TLS_CLIENT(3)	      DragonFly Library Functions Manual	 TLS_CLIENT(3)

NAME
     tls_client, tls_server, tls_configure, tls_reset, tls_free -- configure a
     TLS connection

SYNOPSIS
     #include <tls.h>

     struct tls *
     tls_client(void);

     struct tls *
     tls_server(void);

     int
     tls_configure(struct tls *ctx, struct tls_config *config);

     void
     tls_free(struct tls *ctx);

     void
     tls_reset(struct tls *ctx);

DESCRIPTION
     A TLS connection is represented as a struct tls object called a
     ``context''.  A new context is created by either the tls_client() or
     tls_server() functions.  tls_client() is used in TLS client programs,
     tls_server() in TLS server programs.

     The context can then be configured with the function tls_configure().
     The same tls_config object can be used to configure multiple contexts.

     After configuration, tls_connect(3) can be called on objects created with
     tls_client(), and tls_accept_socket(3) on objects created with
     tls_server().

     After use, a TLS context should be closed with tls_close(3), and then
     freed by calling tls_free().  If tls_free() is called with an argument of
     NULL, no action occurs.

     A TLS context can be reset by calling tls_reset(), allowing for it to be
     reused.  This is essentially equivalent to calling tls_free(), followed
     by a call to the same function that was used to originally allocate the
     TLS context.

RETURN VALUES
     tls_client() and tls_server() return NULL on error or an out of memory
     condition.

     tls_configure() returns 0 on success or -1 on error.

HISTORY
     These functions appeared in OpenBSD 5.6 and got their final names in
     OpenBSD 5.7.
