This is plain wrong, it's particularly annoying as a great deal of effort has been put into updating the documentation [1].

I'll give the author the benefit of the doubt and assume they refer the "OpenSSL docs" as naming hasn't been changed, as opposed to looking at actual OpenSSL documentation. Indeed it doesn't make a great sense rename everything in the documents because as the LibreSSL website states.
libssl: a TLS library, backwards-compatible with OpenSSL
libtls: a new TLS library, designed to make it easier to write foolproof applications

- jamesfisher 9y agoMaybe I'm missing something - could you link me to the docs on http://www.libressl.org/ http://www.libressl.org/? I expected a big link saying "Docs", but I don't see one. I've also tried a Google search for the docs[1], without success.

- nagvx 9y agoThe section on http://www.libressl.org/ http://www.libressl.org/ that starts with: "LibreSSL releases contain several parts" lists said parts, with links to manpages for those parts. For example: https://man.openbsd.org/openssl https://man.openbsd.org/openssl
- mort96 9y agoThat page claims to be docs for OpenSSL. Is that incorrect? If it actually is docs for OpenSSL and not for LibreSSL, where's the LibreSSL-specific docs gbrown_ was talking about?
