SECURITY-SSL(2)SECURITY-SSL(2)NAME
ssl: connect, secret - interface to the Secure Sockets Layer
SYNOPSIS
include "sys.m";
include "security.m";
ssl := load SSL SSL->PATH;
connect: fn(fd: ref Sys->FD): (string, ref Sys->Connection);
secret: fn(c: ref Sys->Connection, secretin,
secretout: array of byte): string;
DESCRIPTION
SSL provides an interface to the secure sockets layer device ssl(3).
Connect allocates a new ssl(3) connection directory. It pushes file
descriptor fd into the data file of that connection, and if successful,
returns a reference to a Connection adt describing the connection. The
Connection adt has its members set as follows: dir names the resulting
connection directory; cfd is open on the connection's control file; and
dfd is open on the connection's data file, which is read and written to
exchange data on the original fd using SSL.
Secret sets the secrets for each direction on Connection c ; if a
secret is nil, the existing setting for that direction remains
unchanged. The string returned describes errors encountered, if any;
otherwise it is nil.

Connect returns a tuple containing a string and a Connection reference.
On success the string is nil, and the connection reference is not nil;

ence is nil.
