2421If you're setting up an asynchronous TLS connection, you have to also
2422provide the @code{:tls-parameters} parameter (see below).
2423
2424Depending on the capabilities of Emacs, how asynchronous
2425@code{:nowait} is may vary. The three elements that may (or may not)
2426be done asynchronously are domain name resolution, socket setup, and
2427(for TLS connections) TLS negotiation.
2428
2429Many functions that interact with process objects, (for instance,
2430@code{process-datagram-address}) rely on them at least having a socket
2431before they can return a useful value. These functions will block
2432until the socket has achieved the desired status. The recommended way
2433of interacting with asynchronous sockets is to place a sentinel on the
2434process, and not try to interact with it before it has changed status
2435to @samp{"run"}. That way, none of these functions will block.
2436
2437@item :tls-parameters
2438When opening a TLS connection, this should be where the first element
2439is the TLS type (which should either be @code{gnutls-x509pki} or
2440@code{gnutls-anon}, and the remaining elements should form a keyword
2441list acceptable for @code{gnutls-boot}. (This keyword list can be
2442optained from the @code{gnutls-boot-parameters} function.) The TLS
2443connection will then be negotiated after completing the connection to
2444the host.
