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.
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.
tls_accept_socket(3), tls_config_new(3), tls_connect(3), tls_init(3)
These functions appeared in OpenBSD 5.6 and got their final names in OpenBSD 5.7.
