       SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version,               SSL_set_ssl_method,
       SSL_get_ssl_method - Choose a new TLS/SSL method

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <openssl/ssl.h>

       int SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version(
               SSL_CTX   *ctx,   SSL_METHOD   *method   );    int
       SSL_set_ssl_method(
               SSL    *s,    SSL_METHOD    *method);   SSL_METHOD
       *SSL_get_ssl_method(SSL *ssl) );

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version() function sets a new  default
       TLS/SSL  method  for  SSL  objects newly created from this
       ctx. SSL objects already created with the SSL_new()  function
  are  not affected, except when the SSL_clear() function
 is called.

       The  SSL_set_ssl_method()  function  sets  a  new  TLS/SSL
       method  for a particular ssl object. It may be reset, when
       SSL_clear() is called.

       The  SSL_get_ssl_method()  function  returns  a   function
       pointer to the TLS/SSL method set in ssl.

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

       The    available   method   choices   are   described   in
       SSL_CTX_new(3).

       When SSL_clear() is called and no session is connected  to
       an  SSL  object,  the method of the SSL object is reset to
       the method currently  set  in  the  corresponding  SSL_CTX
       object.

RETURN VALUES    [Toc]    [Back]

       The   following   return   values   can   occur   for  the
       SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version() and  SSL_set_ssl_method()  functions:
  The  new  choice  failed, check the error stack to
       find out the reason.  The operation succeeded.
