Split out the connection X-Git-Url: http://artulab.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bba260456b3f852c1c2f8079c520089bbbea6cfe;p=openbsd Rework parts of the libtls man page for clarity. Split out the connection information related functions under their own heading and dedup the text relating to when these functions can be called.
