Function

Summary

Initializes SSL.

Package

comm

Signature

ensure-ssl &key library-path already-done

Arguments

library-path

A string or a list of strings.

already-done

A generalized boolean.

Description

The function ensure-ssl initializes SSL. If it was already called in the image, ensure-ssl does nothing. Otherwise it loads the library, calls SSL_library_init, calls SSL_load_error_strings and performs internal initializations.

If already-done is true, ensure-ssl does only the internal initializations. The default value of already-done is nil.

If library-path is passed, it needs to be either a string, specifying one library, or a list of strings specifying multiple libraries. The default value of library-path is platform-specific. The initial default value is described in Loading the OpenSSL libraries. This default may be changed by calling set-ssl-library-path.
