+.SH DESCRIPTION
+These routines are used to initiate TLS processing on an LDAP session.
+.BR ldap_start_tls_s ()
+sends a StartTLS request to a server, waits for the reply, and then installs
+TLS handlers on the session if the request succeeded. The routine returns
+.B LDAP_SUCCESS
+if everything succeeded, otherwise it returns an LDAP error code.
+.BR ldap_start_tls ()
+sends a StartTLS request to a server and does nothing else. It returns
+.B LDAP_SUCCESS
+if the request was sent successfully.
+.BR ldap_tls_inplace ()
+returns 1 if TLS handlers have been installed on the specified session, 0
+otherwise.
+.BR ldap_install_tls ()
+installs the TLS handlers on the given session. It returns
+.B LDAP_LOCAL_ERROR
+if TLS is already installed.
