+
+ Enable the use of the kernel TLS. To benefit from the feature, OpenSSL must
+ have been compiled with support for it, and the negotiated cipher suites and
+ extensions must be supported by it (a list of supported ones may vary by
+ platform and kernel version).
+
+ Note that with enabled kernel TLS some cryptographic operations are
+ performed by the kernel directly and not via any available OpenSSL
+ Providers. This might be undesirable if, for example, the application
+ requires all cryptographic operations to be performed by the FIPS provider.
+
+ This option is only available with OpenSSL 3.0.0 and later.
