.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBSSL_new()\fR creates a new \fBSSL\fR structure which is needed to hold the

of the underlying context \fBctx\fR: connection method (SSLv2/v3/TLSv1),
options, verification settings, timeout settings.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
The following return values can occur:
.IP NULL 4
.IX Item "NULL"
The creation of a new SSL structure failed. Check the error stack to
find out the reason.
.IP "Pointer to an SSL structure" 4
.IX Item "Pointer to an SSL structure"
The return value points to an allocated SSL structure.
