42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43A TLS connection is represented as a
44.Vt struct tls
45object called a
46.Dq context .
47A new context is created by either the
48.Fn tls_client
49or
50.Fn tls_server
51functions.
52.Fn tls_client
53is used in TLS client programs,
54.Fn tls_server
55in TLS server programs.
56.Pp
57The context can then be configured with the function
58.Fn tls_configure .
59The same
60.Vt tls_config
61object can be used to configure multiple contexts.
62.Pp
63After configuration,
64.Xr tls_connect 3
65can be called on objects created with
66.Fn tls_client ,
67and
68.Xr tls_accept_socket 3
69on objects created with
70.Fn tls_server .
71.Pp
72After use, a TLS context should be closed with
73.Xr tls_close 3 ,
74and then freed by calling
75.Fn tls_free .
76If
77.Fn tls_free
78is called with an argument of
79.Dv NULL ,
80no action occurs.
81.Pp
82A TLS context can be reset by calling
83.Fn tls_reset ,
84allowing for it to be reused.
85This is essentially equivalent to calling
86.Fn tls_free ,
87followed by a call to the same function that was used to originally allocate
88the TLS context.
89.Sh RETURN VALUES
90.Fn tls_client
91and
92.Fn tls_server
93return
94.Dv NULL
95on error or an out of memory condition.
96.Pp
97.Fn tls_configure
98returns 0 on success or -1 on error.
