Rich Salz a528d4f0a9 Remove SSLeay history, etc., from docs
If something was "present in all versions" of SSLeay, or if it was
added to a version of SSLeay (and therefore predates OpenSSL),
remove mention of it.  Documentation history now starts with OpenSSL.

Remove mention of all history before OpenSSL 0.9.8, inclusive.

Remove all AUTHOR sections.

=head1 NAME
CRYPTO_set_ex_data, CRYPTO_get_ex_data - internal application specific data functions
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/crypto.h>
int CRYPTO_set_ex_data(CRYPTO_EX_DATA *r, int idx, void *arg);
void *CRYPTO_get_ex_data(CRYPTO_EX_DATA *r, int idx);
=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.
These functions should only be used by applications to manipulate
B<CRYPTO_EX_DATA> structures passed to the B<new_func()>, B<free_func()> and
B<dup_func()> callbacks: as passed to B<RSA_get_ex_new_index()> for example.
B<CRYPTO_set_ex_data()> is used to set application specific data, the data is
supplied in the B<arg> parameter and its precise meaning is up to the
application.
B<CRYPTO_get_ex_data()> is used to retrieve application specific data. The data
is returned to the application, this will be the same value as supplied to
a previous B<CRYPTO_set_ex_data()> call.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
B<CRYPTO_set_ex_data()> returns 1 on success or 0 on failure.
B<CRYPTO_get_ex_data()> returns the application data or 0 on failure. 0 may also
be valid application data but currently it can only fail if given an invalid B<idx>
parameter.
On failure an error code can be obtained from L<ERR_get_error(3)>.
