 =head1 WARNING
 
-SSL_library_init() only registers ciphers. Another important initialization
-is the seeding of the PRNG (Pseudo Random Number Generator), which has to
-be performed separately.
+SSL_library_init() adds ciphers and digests used directly and indirectly by
+SSL/TLS.
 
 =head1 EXAMPLES
 
 A typical TLS/SSL application will start with the library initialization,
-will provide readable error messages and will seed the PRNG.

  SSL_load_error_strings();                /* readable error messages */

 =head1 RETURN VALUES
 
 SSL_library_init() always returns "1", so it is safe to discard the return
 value.
 
+=head1 NOTES
+
+OpenSSL 0.9.8o and 1.0.0a and later added SHA2 algorithms to SSL_library_init().
+Applications which need to use SHA2 in earlier versions of OpenSSL should call
+OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() as well.
