+The tls family of functions establishes a secure communications channel
+using the TLS socket protocol. Both clients and servers are supported.
+
+A TLS connection object is created by tls_client(3) or tls_server(3) and
+configured with tls_configure(3).
+
+This also includes a TLS-enabled version of netcat (libressl-nc).
+
+************************************************************************
+NOTE! The libressl package already contains libtls.
+It's recommended to uninstall this before installing libressl.
