=head1 NAME
-SSL_new - create a new SSL structure for a connection
+SSL_new, SSL_up_ref - create a new SSL structure for a connection
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
SSL *SSL_new(SSL_CTX *ctx);
+ int SSL_up_ref(SSL *s);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
SSL_new() creates a new B<SSL> structure which is needed to hold the
data for a TLS/SSL connection. The new structure inherits the settings
-of the underlying context B<ctx>: connection method (SSLv2/v3/TLSv1),
-options, verification settings, timeout settings.
+of the underlying context B<ctx>: connection method,
+options, verification settings, timeout settings. An B<SSL> structure is
+reference counted. Creating an B<SSL> structure for the first time increments
+the reference count. Freeing it (using SSL_free) decrements it. When the
+reference count drops to zero, any memory or resources allocated to the B<SSL>
+structure are freed. SSL_up_ref() increments the reference count for an
+existing B<SSL> structure.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
The return value points to an allocated SSL structure.
+SSL_up_ref() returns 1 for success and 0 for failure.
