In the name section, all the functions described shoud be enumerated.
This will also make it much simpler to generate softlinks name like
each function to man-pages containing the info.

BIO_seed() and BIO_tell() were documented in two other documents,
which is redundant. They are now in their own document.
Also, in the name section, all the functions described shoud be
enumerated. This will also make it much simpler to generate softlinks
name like each function to man-pages containing the info.
This combines several manual pages provided by
Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>,
various comments by Bodo to the lists and a bit
of source examination by me.

Remove indentation in the NAME section. There's really no need to
indent there, especially since the pod2* scripts will regard that as
preformated text. In one case, indent a code section one step.

Add a number of documentation files, mostly for SSL routines, but also
for a few BIO routines.

3 changes:
- Make sure PCURSORINFO is defined even on systems that do not provide it.
- Change the reference to Peter Gutmann's paper.
- Make sure we don't walk the whole heap lists for performance reasons.
Jeffrey Altman suggests following Peter Gutmann's advice to keep it
to 50 heap entries per heap list.

Better error checking for RSA and DSA signature and verification speed
tests. This was required to not get mysterious errors when they
wouldn't quite want to work.

Major hack of mkdef.pl. There should be no more need to redo the
process when some symbols are missing. Instead, all needed info is
saved in the .num files, including what conditions are needed for a
specific symbol to exist.
This was needed for the work I'm doing with shared libraries under
VMS.

Change the printing mahine used by BIO_printf() and friends so it can
handle an externally provided "static" buffer as well a a dynamic
buffer. The "static" buffer is filled first, but if overflowed, the
dynamic buffer is used instead, being allocated somewhere i the heap.
This combines the benefits of putting the output in a preallocated
buffer (on the stack, for example) and in a buffer that grows
somewhere in the heap.

Another round of indentation changes: Position braces consistently,
add some whitespace for 'if ()', 'for ()', 'while ()' to distinguish
keywords from function names, and finally remove parens around return
values (why be stingy with whitespace but fill the source code
with an abundance of parentheses that are not needed to structure
expressions for readability?).
Bodo Möller [Wed, 6 Sep 2000 13:31:44 +0000 (13:31 +0000)]
More indentation consistency: for (), while (), if (), return ()
usually get a space between keyword and opening paranthesis
so that they don't look like function calls, where no space is
used.
