+	  luaossl is a comprehensive binding to OpenSSL for Lua 5.1,
+	  5.2, and later.
+
+	  It includes support for certificate and key management,
+	  key generation, signature verification, and deep bindings
+	  to the distinguished name, alternative name, and X.509v3
+	  extension interfaces. It also binds OpenSSL's bignum, message
+	  digest, HMAC, cipher, and CSPRNG interfaces.
