It is specifically targeted at usage in TLS. Unless you're writing a TLS stack you probably don't want to use this. It is only available on some platforms and does runtime detection to check whether the platform is suitable or not. Most importantly the platform must have AES-NI support. It's usefulness even in a TLS stack is somewhat limited these days since it is not relevant for TLSv1.3 and does not get used if encrypt-then-mac is negotiated (which recent versions of OpenSSL will try to negotiate by default).
