SSL_library_init(3)					   SSL_library_init(3)

NAME
       SSL_library_init, OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms, SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms
       - Initialize SSL library by registering algorithms

SYNOPSIS
       #include <openssl/ssl.h>

       int SSL_library_init(
	       void ); #define OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms() SSL_library_init()
       #define SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms() SSL_library_init()

DESCRIPTION
       The  SSL_library_init()	function  registers  the available ciphers and
       digests.

       The OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms() and SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms()	 func‐
       tions are synonyms for the SSL_library_init() function.

NOTES
       The  SSL_library_init() function must be called before any other action
       takes place.

RESTRICTIONS
       The SSL_library_init() function only registers ciphers.	Another impor‐
       tant  initialization  is	 the seeding of the PRNG (Pseudo Random Number
       Generator), which has to be performed separately.

RETURN VALUES
       The SSL_library_init() function always returns 1, so it is safe to dis‐
       card the return value.

EXAMPLES
       A  typical  TLS/SSL application will start with the library initializa‐
       tion, will provide readable error messages  and	will  seed  the	 PRNG.
       SSL_load_error_strings();     /*	   readable    error	messages    */
       SSL_library_init(); /* initialize library */ actions_to_seed_PRNG();
