 The `ConnectionInterface` is used to represent any incoming connection.

 /**
  * The `SecureServer` class implements the `ServerInterface` and is responsible
  * for providing a secure TLS (formerly known as SSL) server.
  *
  * It does so by wrapping a `Server` instance which waits for plaintext
  * TCP/IP connections and then performs a TLS handshake for each connection.
- * It thus requires valid [TLS context options],
- * which in its most basic form may look something like this if you're using a
- * PEM encoded certificate file:
  *
+ * ```php
+ * $server = new Server(8000, $loop);
+ * $server = new SecureServer($server, $loop, array(
+ *     // tls context options here…
+ * ));
  * ```
- * $context = array(
- *     'local_cert' => __DIR__ . '/localhost.pem'
- * );
+ *
+ * Whenever a client completes the TLS handshake, it will emit a `connection` event
+ * with a connection instance implementing [`ConnectionInterface`](#connectioninterface):
+ *
+ * ```php
+ * $server->on('connection', function (ConnectionInterface $connection) {
+ *     echo 'Secure connection from' . $connection->getRemoteAddress() . PHP_EOL;
+ *
+ *     $connection->write('hello there!' . PHP_EOL);
+ *     …
+ * });
  * ```
  *
- * If your private key is encrypted with a passphrase, you have to specify it
- * like this:
+ * Whenever a client fails to perform a successful TLS handshake, it will emit an
+ * `error` event and then close the underlying TCP/IP connection:
  *
  * ```php
- * $context = array(
- *     'local_cert' => 'server.pem',
- *     'passphrase' => 'secret'
- * );
+ * $server->on('error', function (Exception $e) {
+ *     echo 'Error' . $e->getMessage() . PHP_EOL;
+ * });
  * ```
