+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Several OpenSSL structures can have application specific data attached to them.
+These functions are used internally by OpenSSL to manipulate application
+specific data attached to a specific structure.
+
+SSL_get_ex_new_index() is used to register a new index for application
+specific data.
+
+SSL_set_ex_data() is used to store application data at B<arg> for B<idx> into
+the B<ssl> object.
+
+SSL_get_ex_data() is used to retrieve the information for B<idx> from
+B<ssl>.
+
+A detailed description for the B<*_get_ex_new_index()> functionality
+can be found in L<RSA_get_ex_new_index(3)|RSA_get_ex_new_index(3)>.
+The B<*_get_ex_data()> and B<*_set_ex_data()> functionality is described in
+L<CRYPTO_set_ex_data(3)|CRYPTO_set_ex_data(3)>.
+
+=head1 EXAMPLES
+
+An example on how to use the functionality is included in the example
+verify_callback() in L<SSL_CTX_set_verify(3)|SSL_CTX_set_verify(3)>.
