;;; Commentary:

;; This package implements a simple wrapper around "gnutls-cli" to
;; make Emacs support TLS/SSL.
;;
;; Usage is the same as `open-network-stream', i.e.:
;;
;; (setq tmp (open-tls-stream "test" (current-buffer) "news.mozilla.org" 563))
;; ...
;; #<process test>
;; (process-send-string tmp "mode reader\n")
;; 200 secnews.netscape.com Netscape-Collabra/3.52 03615 NNRP ready ...
;; nil
;; (process-send-string tmp "quit\n")
;; 205
;; nil

;; To use this package as a replacement for ssl.el by William M. Perry
;; <[e-mail]>, you need to evaluate the following:

BUFFER is the buffer (or buffer-name) to associate with the process.

 an output stream or filter function to handle the output.
 BUFFER may be also nil, meaning that this process is not associated

Fourth arg SERVICE is name of the service desired, or an integer
specifying a port number to connect to."
