 SSL sockets provide the basic interface of :ref:`socket-objects`. However,
 not all functionality is supported (for example, passing a non-zero ``flags``

 SSL sockets also have the following additional methods and attributes:
 
-.. method:: SSLSocket.read(nbytes=1024, buffer=None)
-
-   Reads up to ``nbytes`` bytes from the SSL-encrypted channel and returns them.
-   If the ``buffer`` is specified, it will attempt to read into the buffer the
-   minimum of the size of the buffer and ``nbytes``, if that is specified.  If
-   no buffer is specified, an immutable buffer is allocated and returned with

-
-.. method:: SSLSocket.write(data)
-
-   Writes the ``data`` to the other side of the connection, using the SSL
-   channel to encrypt.  Returns the number of bytes written.
