This is an abbreviated extract from stunnel(1); but given that -S
_isn't_ supported I don't see why you're explaining the details...

(That's "default" not "defaults" anyway; the only thing here that's
definitely wrong.)

Here's a version with some extra reshuffling:
* Stunnel 3 is deprecated. The new stunnel4 has a different command line
syntax and configuration. You will need to update your scripts.
The wrapper script /usr/bin/stunnel3 understands stunnel3 command
line syntax and calls stunnel4 with appropriate options. It appears to
support every stunnel3 option *except* -S (which controls the defaults
used for certificate sources).
To simplify migration, /usr/bin/stunnel is a symlink to the wrapper
script. A future version will make the link point to stunnel4.
