Tool Command Language (TCL) Transport Layer Security (TLS) Extension

Intro
=====

This package provides an extension which implements Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
and Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption over Transmission Control
Protocol (TCP) network communication channels utilizing the OpenSSL library.


Description
===========

This extension works by creating a layered TCL Channel on top of an existing
bi-directional channel created by the TLS socket command. All existing socket
functionality is supported in addition to several new options. Both client and
server modes are supported.


Documentation
=============

See the doc directory for the full usage documentation.


Compatibility
=============

TCL
---

This package requires TCL 8.5 or later. It will also work with TCL 9, but it is
not binary compatible between major TCL versions. This means if this extension
is built with TCL 8.x it will not load into TCL 9 or vice versa. It is best
to compile both separately then install them with the compatible TCL versions.


OpenSSL
-------

This package is compatible with OpenSSL v1.1.1 or later, though 3.2 or later is

preferred. See http://www.openssl.org/. Please note that there are a few API
incompatibilities between OpenSSL 1.1.1 and 3.x, so if this extension is built
against OpenSSL 1.1.1 it is not binary compatible with OpenSSL 3.x or vice
versa.

TCLTLS
------

There were several changes made in the callback command arguments between
versions 1.7 and 2.0. See the doc/tls.html for what changed and library/tls.tcl
for example handler functions that are backwards compatible.


Installation
============

This package uses the TCL Extension Architecture (TEA) to build and install on
any supported Unix, Mac, or MS Windows system. It depends on the OpenSSL
