+=head1 NAME
+
+SSL_free_buffers, SSL_alloc_buffers - manage SSL structure buffers
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include <openssl/ssl.h>
+
+ int SSL_free_buffers(SSL *ssl);
+ int SSL_alloc_buffers(SSL *ssl);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+SSL_free_buffers() frees the read and write buffers of the given B<ssl>.
+SSL_alloc_buffers() allocates the read and write buffers of the given B<ssl>.
+
+The B<SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS> mode releases read or write buffers whenever
+the buffers have been drained. These functions allow applications to manually
+control when buffers are freed and allocated.
+
+After freeing the buffers, the buffers are automatically reallocated upon a
+new read or write. The SSL_alloc_buffers() does not need to be called, but
+can be used to make sure the buffers are pre-allocated. This can be used to
+avoid allocation during data processing or with CRYPTO_set_mem_functions()
+to control where and how buffers are allocated.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+The following return values can occur:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item 0 (Failure)
+
+The SSL_free_buffers() function returns 0 when there is pending data to be
+read or written. The SSL_alloc_buffers() function returns 0 when there is
+an allocation failure.
+
+=item 1 (Success)
+
+The SSL_free_buffers() function returns 1 if the buffers have been freed. This
+value is also returned if the buffers had been freed before calling
+SSL_free_buffers().
+The SSL_alloc_buffers() function returns 1 if the buffers have been allocated.
+This value is also returned if the buffers had been allocated before calling
+SSL_alloc_buffers().
