.. Set up some character translations and predefined strings. \*(-- will
give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left
double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. \*(C+ will
give a nicer C++. Capital omega is used to do unbreakable dashes and
therefore won't be available. \*(C` and \*(C' expand to `' in nroff,
nothing in troff, for use with C<>.

Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is turned on, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

way too many mistakes in technical documents.

"DESCRIPTION"
Header "DESCRIPTION" A client application may request that a server send back an \s-1OCSP\s0 status response (also known as \s-1OCSP\s0 stapling). To do so the client should call the \fISSL_set_tlsext_status_type() function prior to the start of the handshake. Currently the only supported type is TLSEXT_STATUSTYPE_ocsp. This value should be passed in the type argument. The client should additionally provide a callback function to decide what to do with the returned \s-1OCSP\s0 response by calling SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_status_cb(). The callback function should determine whether the returned \s-1OCSP\s0 response is acceptable or not. The callback will be passed as an argument the value previously set via a call to \fISSL_CTX_set_tlsext_status_arg(). Note that the callback will not be called in the event of a handshake where session resumption occurs (because there are no Certificates exchanged in such a handshake).

The response returned by the server can be obtained via a call to \fISSL_get_tlsext_status_ocsp_resp(). The value *resp will be updated to point to the \s-1OCSP\s0 response data and the return value will be the length of that data. Typically a callback would obtain an \s-1OCSP_RESPONSE\s0 object from this data via a call to the d2i_OCSP_RESPONSE() function. If the server has not provided any response data then *resp will be \s-1NULL\s0 and the return value from \fISSL_get_tlsext_status_ocsp_resp() will be -1.

A server application must also call the SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_status_cb() function if it wants to be able to provide clients with \s-1OCSP\s0 Certificate Status responses. Typically the server callback would obtain the server certificate that is being sent back to the client via a call to SSL_get_certificate(); obtain the \s-1OCSP\s0 response to be sent back; and then set that response data by calling SSL_set_tlsext_status_ocsp_resp(). A pointer to the response data should be provided in the resp argument, and the length of that data should be in the len argument.

"RETURN VALUES"
Header "RETURN VALUES" The callback when used on the client side should return a negative value on error; 0 if the response is not acceptable (in which case the handshake will fail) or a positive value if it is acceptable.

The callback when used on the server side should return with either \s-1SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_OK \s0(meaning that the \s-1OCSP\s0 response that has been set should be returned), \s-1SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_NOACK \s0(meaning that an \s-1OCSP\s0 response should not be returned) or \s-1SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_ALERT_FATAL \s0(meaning that a fatal error has occurred).

\fISSL_CTX_set_tlsext_status_cb(), SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_status_arg(), \fISSL_set_tlsext_status_type() and SSL_set_tlsext_status_ocsp_resp() return 0 on error or 1 on success.

\fISSL_get_tlsext_status_ocsp_resp() returns the length of the \s-1OCSP\s0 response data or -1 if there is no \s-1OCSP\s0 response data.
