/**
 * SECTION:gtls
 * @title: TLS Overview
 * @short_description: TLS (aka SSL) support for GSocketConnection
 * @include: gio/gio.h
 *
 * #GTlsConnection and related classes provide TLS (Transport Layer
 * Security, previously known as SSL, Secure Sockets Layer) support for
 * gio-based network streams.
 *
 * In the simplest case, for a client connection, you can just set the
 * #GSocketClient:tls flag on a #GSocketClient, and then any
 * connections created by that client will have TLS negotiated
 * automatically, using appropriate default settings, and rejecting
 * any invalid or self-signed certificates (unless you change that
 * default by setting the #GSocketClient:tls-validation-flags
 * property). The returned object will be a #GTcpWrapperConnection,
 * which wraps the underlying #GTlsClientConnection.
 *
 * For greater control, you can create your own #GTlsClientConnection,
 * wrapping a #GSocketConnection (or an arbitrary #GIOStream with
 * pollable input and output streams) and then connect to its signals,
 * such as #GTlsConnection::accept-certificate, before starting the
 * handshake.
 *
 * Server-side TLS is similar, using #GTlsServerConnection. At the
 * moment, there is no support for automatically wrapping server-side
 * connections in the way #GSocketClient does for client-side
 * connections.
