couriertls - SSL/TLS

SYNOPSIS

   couriertls [ options ] [program arg1 arg2 ...]

DESCRIPTION

The couriertls program is used by applications to encrypt a network connection using SSL/TLS, without having the application deal with the gory details of SSL/TLS. couriertls is used by the Courier IMAP and ESMTP servers.

couriertls is not usually run directly from the commandline. An application typically creates a network connection, then runs couriertls with appropriate options to encrypt the network connection with SSL/TLS.

OPTIONS

If the -remotefd=n option is not specified, the rest of the command line specifies the program to run -- and its arguments -- whose standard input and output is encrypted via SSL/TLS over the network connection. If the program is not specified, the standard input and output of couriertls itself is encrypted.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
