NAME
starttls - TLS encryption helper program
SYNOPSIS
starttls [options] host port
DESCRIPTION
starttls is a program that used by emacs for encryption things,
probably you never want to invoke it from the command line. But if you
are a sysadmin, you can use it to test a TLS based service. First you
have to start starttls, like you start telnet, and when the server
says, that you can go along with TLS handshake, you have to send an
SIGALRM to this process, it will do the handshake for you and after
that the communication can be continued over stdin/stdout.
