Description

Used for establishing a secure TLS connection. It must be called before attempting to use mysql_real_connect(). TLS support must be enabled in the client library in order for the function to have any effect.

NULL can be used for an unused parameter. Always returns zero.

mysql_real_connect() will return an error if attempting to connect and TLS is incorrectly set up.
