Previous: Miscellaneous examples, Up: How to use GnuTLS in applications
To ease GnuTLS' integration with existing applications, a
compatibility layer with the widely used OpenSSL library is included
in the gnutls-openssl library. This compatibility layer is not
complete and it is not intended to completely reimplement the OpenSSL
API with GnuTLS. It only provides source-level
compatibility. There is currently no attempt to make it
binary-compatible with OpenSSL.
The prototypes for the compatibility functions are in the gnutls/openssl.h header file.
Current limitations imposed by the compatibility layer include:
