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. Prototypes for the compatibility functions are found in the ``gnutls/openssl.h'' header file. +Current limitations imposed by the compatibility layer include: + +\begin{itemize} + +\item Error handling is not thread safe. + +\item The same network socket must be used for both reading and writing. + +\end{itemize} + |
