+This directory contains sample code for using BearSSL.
+
+client_basic.c
+
+ A sample client code, that connects to a server, performs a SSL
+ handshake, sends a basic HTTP GET request, and dumps the complete
+ answer on stdout.
+
+ Compile it against BearSSL headers (in the ../inc directory) and
+ library (libbearssl.a). This code will validate the server
+ certificate against two hardcoded trust anchors.
+
+server_basic.c
+
+ A sample SSL server, that serves one client at a time. It reads a
+ single HTTP request (that it does not really parse; it just waits for
+ the two successive line endings that mark the end of the request),
+ and pushes a basic response.
+
+ Compile it against BearSSL headers (in the ../inc directory) and
+ library (libbearssl.a). Depending on compilation options (see the
+ code), it will use one of several certificate chains, that exercise
+ various combinations of RSA and EC keys and signatures. These
+ certificate chains link to the trust anchors that are hardcoded
+ in client_basic.c, so the sample client and the sample server can
+ be tested against each other.
+
+custom_profile.c
+
+ A sample C source file that shows how to write your own client or
+ server profiles (selections of cipher suites and algorithms).
+
+
+The .pem files are certificate and keys corresponding to the chains
+and anchors used by the sample client and server. They are provided
+for reference only; these files are not used by the examples.
