\&\fISSL_library_init()\fR always returns \*(L"1\*(R", so it is safe to discard the return
value.

+.IX Header "NOTES"
+OpenSSL 0.9.8o and 1.0.0a and later added \s-1SHA2\s0 algorithms to \fISSL_library_init()\fR.
+Applications which need to use \s-1SHA2\s0 in earlier versions of OpenSSL should call
+\&\fIOpenSSL_add_all_algorithms()\fR as well.
