docs/libcurl/opts: clarify the return values
Expand a little.

- mention the type name of the return code
- avoid stating which exact return codes that might be returned, as that
  varies over time, builds and conditions
- avoid stating some always return OK
- refer to the manpage documenting all the return codes

# NAME
CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION - get TLS session info
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION,
struct curl_tlssessioninfo **session);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
**This option has been superseded** by CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR(3) which
was added in 7.48.0. The only reason you would use this option instead is if
you could be using a version of libcurl earlier than 7.48.0.
This option is exactly the same as CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR(3) except in the
case of OpenSSL. If the session *backend* is CURLSSLBACKEND_OPENSSL the
session *internals* pointer varies depending on the option:
CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION(3) OpenSSL session *internals* is **SSL_CTX ***.
CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR(3) OpenSSL session *internals* is **SSL ***.
You can obtain an **SSL_CTX** pointer from an SSL pointer using OpenSSL
function *SSL_get_SSL_CTX(3)*. Therefore unless you need compatibility
with older versions of libcurl use CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR(3). Refer to
that document for more information.
# %PROTOCOLS%
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
struct curl_tlssessioninfo *tls;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
if(res)
printf("error: %s\n", curl_easy_strerror(res));
curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION, &tls);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}
~~~
# DEPRECATED
Deprecated since 7.48.0
# %AVAILABILITY%
# RETURN VALUE
curl_easy_getinfo(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.
CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see
libcurl-errors(3).
