+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+SSL_key_update() schedules an update of the keys for the current TLS connection.
+If the B<updatetype> parameter is set to B<SSL_KEY_UPDATE_NOT_REQUESTED> then
+the sending keys for this connection will be updated and the peer will be
+informed of the change. If the B<updatetype> parameter is set to
+B<SSL_KEY_UPDATE_REQUESTED> then the sending keys for this connection will be
+updated and the peer will be informed of the change along with a request for the
+peer to additionally update its sending keys. It is an error if B<updatetype> is
+set to B<SSL_KEY_UPDATE_NONE>.
+
+SSL_key_update() must only be called after the initial handshake has been
+completed and TLSv1.3 has been negotiated. The key update will not take place
+until the next time an IO operation such as SSL_read_ex() or SSL_write_ex()
+takes place on the connection. Alternatively SSL_do_handshake() can be called to
+force the update to take place immediately.
+
+SSL_get_key_update_type() can be used to determine whether a key update
+operation has been scheduled but not yet performed. The type of the pending key
+update operation will be returned if there is one, or SSL_KEY_UPDATE_NONE
+otherwise.
+
+SSL_renegotiate() and SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated() should only be called for
+connections that have negotiated TLSv1.2 or less. Calling them on any other
+connection will result in an error.
+
+When called from the client side, SSL_renegotiate() schedules a completely new
+handshake over an existing SSL/TLS connection. The next time an IO operation
+such as SSL_read_ex() or SSL_write_ex() takes place on the connection a check
+will be performed to confirm that it is a suitable time to start a
+renegotiation. If so, then it will be initiated immediately. OpenSSL will not
+attempt to resume any session associated with the connection in the new
+handshake.
+
+When called from the client side, SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated() works in the
+same was as SSL_renegotiate() except that OpenSSL will attempt to resume the
+session associated with the current connection in the new handshake.
+
+When called from the server side, SSL_renegotiate() and
+SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated() behave identically. They both schedule a request
+for a new handshake to be sent to the client. The next time an IO operation is
+performed then the same checks as on the client side are performed and then, if
+appropriate, the request is sent. The client may or may not respond with a new
+handshake and it may or may not attempt to resume an existing session. If
+a new handshake is started then this will be handled transparently by calling
+any OpenSSL IO function.
+
+If an OpenSSL client receives a renegotiation request from a server then again
+this will be handled transparently through calling any OpenSSL IO function. For
+a TLS connection the client will attempt to resume the current session in the
+new handshake. For historical reasons, DTLS clients will not attempt to resume
+the session in the new handshake.
+
+The SSL_renegotiate_pending() function returns 1 if a renegotiation or
+rengotiation request has been scheduled but not yet acted on, or 0 otherwise.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+SSL_key_update(), SSL_renegotiate() and SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated() return 1
+on success or 0 on error.
+
+SSL_get_key_update_type() returns the update type of the pending key update
+operation or SSL_KEY_UPDATE_NONE if there is none.
+
+SSL_renegotiate_pending() returns 1 if a renegotiation or rengotiation request
+has been scheduled but not yet acted on, or 0 otherwise.
