| 10 | .. class:: cryptography.hazmat.bindings.openssl.binding.Binding() |
| 11 | |
| 12 | This is the exposed API for the OpenSSL bindings. It has two public |
| 13 | attributes: |
| 14 | |
| 15 | .. attribute:: ffi |
| 16 | |
| 17 | This is a :class:`cffi.FFI` instance. It can be used to allocate and |
| 18 | otherwise manipulate OpenSSL structures. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | .. attribute:: lib |
| 21 | |
| 22 | This is a ``cffi`` library. It can be used to call OpenSSL functions, |
| 23 | and access constants. |
