26 ;;; Commentary:
28 ;; This package implements a simple wrapper around "gnutls-cli" to
29 ;; make Emacs support TLS/SSL.
31 ;; Usage is the same as `open-network-stream', i.e.:
33 ;; (setq tmp (open-tls-stream "test" (current-buffer) "news.mozilla.org" 563))
34 ;; ...
35 ;; #<process test>
36 ;; (process-send-string tmp "mode reader\n")
37 ;; 200 secnews.netscape.com Netscape-Collabra/3.52 03615 NNRP ready ...
38 ;; nil
39 ;; (process-send-string tmp "quit\n")
