     NAME
          SSL_new - create a new SSL structure for a connection

     SYNOPSIS
           #include <openssl/ssl.h>

           SSL *SSL_new(SSL_CTX *ctx);


     DESCRIPTION
          SSL_new() creates a new SSL structure which is needed to
          hold the data for a TLS/SSL connection. The new structure
          inherits the settings of the underlying context ctx:
          connection method (SSLv2/v3/TLSv1), options, verification
          settings, timeout settings.

     RETURN VALUES
          The following return values can occur:

          NULL
              The creation of a new SSL structure failed. Check the
              error stack to find out the reason.

          Pointer to an SSL structure
              The return value points to an allocated SSL structure.
