Description'

The SSL module provides an interface to the secure sockets layer device. It assumes that device has already been bound to/n/ssl, its conventional location in the name space.

The interfaces are:

connect(fd)

Push file descriptor fd into /n/ssl/n/data and return resulting (secure) connection. The value for n is obtained internally from /n/ssl/clone. The string returned describes errors encountered, if any. If that string is non-nil, the connection is invalid.

secret(c, secretin, secretout)

Write non-null strings secretin and secretout to /n/ssl/n/secretin and /n/ssl/n/secretout, respectively. The value of n is obtained from the Connection adt, c. The string returned describes errors encountered, if any; otherwise it is nil.
