+.SH NAME
+\fBtelnet_init\fP - initialize a new TELNET connection processor
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.PP
+\fB#include <libtelnet.h>\fP
+.sp
+.B "telnet_t *telnet_init( const telnet_telopt_t *\fItelopts\fP, telnet_event_handler_t \fIeh\fP, unsigned char \fIflags\fP, void *\fIuser_data\fP );"
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+The \fBtelnet_init\fP function initializes a new TELNET connection processor
+and returns a pointer to the state tracker.
+
+The parameter \fItelopts\fP is an array of telnet_telopt_t structures, which
+defines the list of TELNET options your application supports. This array must
+include a final entry with all structure element set to 0 to indicate the end
+of the array.
+
+The parameter \fIeh\fP is a pointer to a function to handle all events
+generated by the TELNET processor.
+
+The parameter \fIflags\fP is a set of flags controlling libtelnet's behavior.
+
+The paramater \fIuser_data\fP is an opaque pointer that will be passed to
+the \fIeh\fP function when called.
+
+.SH RETURN VALUES
+.PP
+The return value is a pointer to the libtelnet state tracker, which must be
+passed to all other libtelnet functions regarding this connection. If
+\fBtelnet_init\fP fails for any reason, it will return NULL instead.
+
+This value must be passed to \fBtelnet_free\fP after the connection is closed
+to free resources used internally by libtelnet.
