    <title>DATA TYPES</title>
    <p>The following data types are used in the functions for SSL/TLS/DTLS:</p>

      <p>The default socket options are
      <c>[{mode,list},{packet, 0},{header, 0},{active, true}]</c>.</p>
      <p>For valid options, see the
      <seealso marker="kernel:inet">inet(3)</seealso>,
      <seealso marker="kernel:gen_tcp">gen_tcp(3)</seealso> and
      <seealso marker="kernel:gen_tcp">gen_udp(3)</seealso> 
      manual pages
      in Kernel. Note that stream oriented options such as packet are only relevant for SSL/TLS and not DTLS</p></item>

      <p>Defaults to <c>{gen_tcp, tcp, tcp_closed, tcp_error}</c> for TLS
      and <c>{gen_udp, udp, udp_closed, udp_error}</c> for DTLS. Can be used
      to customize the transport layer. For TLS the callback module must implement a
      reliable transport protocol, behave as <c>gen_tcp</c>, and have functions
      corresponding to <c>inet:setopts/2</c>, <c>inet:getopts/2</c>,
      <c>inet:peername/1</c>, <c>inet:sockname/1</c>, and <c>inet:port/1</c>.
      The callback <c>gen_tcp</c> is treated specially and calls <c>inet</c>
      directly. For DTLS this feature must be considered exprimental.</p>

	    <p>This module makes use of a directory where CRLs are

	    <p>The file names consist of eight hexadecimal digits
	    followed by <c>.rN</c>, where <c>N</c> is an integer,
	    e.g. <c>1a2b3c4d.r0</c>.  For the first version of the
	    CRL, <c>N</c> starts at zero, and for each new version,
	    <c>N</c> is incremented by one.  The OpenSSL utility
	    <c>c_rehash</c> creates symlinks according to this
	    pattern.</p>

	    <p>For a given hash value, this module finds all
	    consecutive <c>.r*</c> files starting from zero, and those
	    files taken together make up the revocation list.  CRL
	    files whose <c>nextUpdate</c> fields are in the past, or

      this option to <c>false</c>. The default value is <c>true</c>.
