  22.       _S_S_L__l_i_b_r_a_r_y__i_n_i_t() registers the available ciphers and

  33.       _S_S_L__l_i_b_r_a_r_y__i_n_i_t() only registers ciphers. Another important
  34.       initialization is the    seeding    of the PRNG (Pseudo Random
  35.       Number Generator), which has to be performed separately.

  38.       A typical TLS/SSL application    will start with    the library
