NAME
SSL_library_init, OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms, SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms
- Initialize SSL library by registering 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
The SSL_library_init() function registers the available ciphers and
digests.
The OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms() and SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms() func‐
tions are synonyms for the SSL_library_init() function.
NOTES
The SSL_library_init() function must be called before any other action
takes place.
RESTRICTIONS
The SSL_library_init() function only registers ciphers. Another impor‐
tant initialization is the seeding of the PRNG (Pseudo Random Number
Generator), which has to be performed separately.
RETURN VALUES
The SSL_library_init() function always returns 1, so it is safe to dis‐
card the return value.
EXAMPLES
A typical TLS/SSL application will start with the library initializa‐
tion, 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();
