 =head1 NAME
 
-OPENSSL_ia32cap, OPENSSL_ia32cap_loc - the IA-32 processor capabilities vector
+OPENSSL_ia32cap - the x86[_64] processor capabilities vector
 
 =head1 SYNOPSIS
 
- unsigned int *OPENSSL_ia32cap_loc(void);
- #define OPENSSL_ia32cap ((OPENSSL_ia32cap_loc())[0])
+ env OPENSSL_ia32cap=... <application>
 
 =head1 DESCRIPTION
 
-Value returned by OPENSSL_ia32cap_loc() is address of a variable
-containing IA-32 processor capabilities bit vector as it appears in
-EDX:ECX register pair after executing CPUID instruction with EAX=1
-input value (see Intel Application Note #241618). Naturally it's
-meaningful on x86 and x86_64 platforms only. The variable is normally
-set up automatically upon toolkit initialization, but can be
-manipulated afterwards to modify crypto library behaviour. For the
-moment of this writing following bits are significant:
+OpenSSL supports a range of x86[_64] instruction set extensions. These
+extensions are denoted by individual bits in capability vector returned
+by processor in EDX:ECX register pair after executing CPUID instruction
+with EAX=1 input value (see Intel Application Note #241618). This vector
+is copied to memory upon toolkit initialization and used to choose
+between different code paths to provide optimal performance across wide
+range of processors. For the moment of this writing following bits are
+significant:

 option and recompile.

 The capability vector is further extended with EBX value returned by
 CPUID with EAX=7 and ECX=0 as input. Following bits are significant:
