+ <section>
+ <title>General</title>
+
+ <p>There is a new implementation of ssl available in
+ this module but until it is 100 % complete, so that it can replace
+ the old implementation in all aspects it will be
+ described here <seealso marker="new_ssl"> new ssl API </seealso></p>
+
+ <p>The reader is advised to also read the <c>ssl(6)</c> manual page
+ describing the SSL application.
+ </p>
+ <warning>
+ <p>It is strongly advised to seed the random generator after
+ the ssl application has been started (see <c>seed/1</c>
+ below), and before any connections are established. Although
+ the port program interfacing to the ssl libraries does a
+ "random" seeding of its own in order to make everything work
+ properly, that seeding is by no means random for the world
+ since it has a constant value which is known to everyone
+ reading the source code of the port program.</p>

+ <p>The socket option <c>{backlog, integer()}</c> is for
+ <c>listen/2</c> only, and the option <c>{port, integer()}</c>
+ is for <c>connect/3/4</c> only.
+ </p>
+ <p>The following socket options are set by default: <c>{mode, list}</c>, <c>{packet, 0}</c>, <c>{header, 0}</c>, <c>{nodelay, false}</c>, <c>{active, true}</c>, <c>{backlog, 5}</c>,
+ <c>{ip, {0,0,0,0}}</c>, and <c>{port, 0}</c>.
+ </p>
+ <p>Note that the options <c>{mode, binary}</c> and <c>binary</c>
+ are equivalent. Similarly <c>{mode, list}</c> and the absence of
+ option <c>binary</c> are equivalent.
+ </p>
+ <p>The ssl options are for setting specific SSL parameters as follows:
+ </p>
+ <list type="bulleted">
+ <item>
+ <p><c>{verify, code()}</c> Specifies type of verification:
+ 0 = do not verify peer; 1 = verify peer, 2 = verify peer,
+ fail if no peer certificate. The default value is 0.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>{depth, depth()}</c> Specifies the maximum
+ verification depth, i.e. how far in a chain of certificates
+ the verification process can proceed before the verification
+ is considered to fail.
+ </p>
+ <p>Peer certificate = 0, CA certificate = 1, higher level CA
+ certificate = 2, etc. The value 2 thus means that a chain
+ can at most contain peer cert, CA cert, next CA cert, and an
+ additional CA cert.
+ </p>
+ <p>The default value is 1.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>{certfile, path()}</c> Path to a file containing the
+ user's certificate.
+ chain of PEM encoded certificates.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>{keyfile, path()}</c> Path to file containing user's
+ private PEM encoded key.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>{password, string()}</c> String containing the user's
+ password. Only used if the private keyfile is password protected.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>{cacertfile, path()}</c> Path to file containing PEM encoded
+ CA certificates (trusted certificates used for verifying a peer
+ certificate).</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>{ciphers, string()}</c> String of ciphers as a colon
+ separated list of ciphers. The function <c>ciphers/0</c> can
+ be used to find all available ciphers.</p>
+ </item>
+ </list>
+ <p>The type <c>sslsocket()</c> is opaque to the user.
+ </p>
+ <p>The owner of a socket is the one that created it by a call to
+ <c>transport_accept/[1,2]</c>, <c>connect/[3,4]</c>,
+ or <c>listen/2</c>.
+ </p>
+ <p>When a socket is in active mode (the default), data from the
+ socket is delivered to the owner of the socket in the form of
+ messages:
+ </p>
+ <list type="bulleted">
+ <item>
+ <p><c>{ssl, Socket, Data}</c></p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>{ssl_closed, Socket}</c></p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>{ssl_error, Socket, Reason}</c></p>
+ </item>
+ </list>
+ <p>A <c>Timeout</c> argument specifies a timeout in milliseconds. The
+ default value for a <c>Timeout</c> argument is <c>infinity</c>.
+ </p>
+ <p>Functions listed below may return the value <c>{error, closed}</c>, which only indicates that the SSL socket is
+ considered closed for the operation in question. It is for
+ instance possible to have <c>{error, closed}</c> returned from
+ an call to <c>send/2</c>, and a subsequent call to <c>recv/3</c>
+ returning <c>{ok, Data}</c>.
+ </p>
+ <p>Hence a return value of <c>{error, closed}</c> must not be
+ interpreted as if the socket was completely closed. On the
+ contrary, in order to free all resources occupied by an SSL
+ socket, <c>close/1</c> must be called, or else the process owning
+ the socket has to terminate.
+ </p>
+ <p>For each SSL socket there is an Erlang process representing the
+ socket. When a socket is opened, that process links to the
+ calling client process. Implementations that want to detect
+ abnormal exits from the socket process by receiving <c>{'EXIT', Pid, Reason}</c> messages, should use the function <c>pid/1</c>
+ to retrieve the process identifier from the socket, in order to
+ be able to match exit messages properly.</p>
