-=head1 NAME
-
-crypto - OpenSSL cryptographic library
-
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-The OpenSSL B<crypto> library implements a wide range of cryptographic
-algorithms used in various Internet standards. The services provided
-by this library are used by the OpenSSL implementations of SSL, TLS
-and S/MIME, and they have also been used to implement SSH, OpenPGP, and
-other cryptographic standards.
-
-=head1 OVERVIEW
-
-B<libcrypto> consists of a number of sub-libraries that implement the
-individual algorithms.
-
-The functionality includes symmetric encryption, public key
-cryptography and key agreement, certificate handling, cryptographic
-hash functions and a cryptographic pseudo-random number generator.

-=head1 NOTES
-
-Some of the newer functions follow a naming convention using the numbers
-B<0> and B<1>. For example the functions:
-
- int X509_CRL_add0_revoked(X509_CRL *crl, X509_REVOKED *rev);
- int X509_add1_trust_object(X509 *x, ASN1_OBJECT *obj);
-
-The B<0> version uses the supplied structure pointer directly
-in the parent and it will be freed up when the parent is freed.
-In the above example B<crl> would be freed but B<rev> would not.
-
-The B<1> function uses a copy of the supplied structure pointer
-(or in some cases increases its link count) in the parent and
-so both (B<x> and B<obj> above) should be freed up.
