SSL_LIBRARY_INIT(3)	     OpenSSL	      SSL_LIBRARY_INIT(3)

NAME
     SSL_library_init, OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms,
     SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms - initialize SSL library by regis-
     tering 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
     SSL_library_init() registers the available ciphers and dig-
     ests.

     OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms() and SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms()
     are synonyms for SSL_library_init().

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

WARNING
     SSL_library_init() only registers ciphers. Another important
     initialization is the seeding of the PRNG (Pseudo Random
     Number Generator), which has to be performed separately.

EXAMPLES
     A typical TLS/SSL application will start with the library
     initialization, 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();

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

SEE ALSO
     ssl(3), SSL_load_error_strings(3), RAND_add(3)
