Tls encryption helper program
Usage
starttls [options]
host

Overview
starttls is a program that used by emacs for encryption things, probably you never want to invoke it from the command line. But if you are a sysadmin, you can use it to test a TLS based service. First you have to start starttls, like you start telnet, and when the server says, that you can go along with TLS handshake, you have to send an SIGALRM to this process, it will do the handshake for you and after that the communication can be continued over stdin/stdout.
