Good to know the example helped.
It's been a while since I used Botan but IIRC a channel (which handles the actual encryption/decryption) is used to queue the reads and writes. You can see how it is used in tls_socket::read and tls_socket::write. Note that Botan handles the actual TLS handshake behind the scene.
The certificates are managed by the client_credentials_manager and server_credentials_manager classes defined in credentials.hpp. Instances of them are passed to the tls sockets when they are created in run(). Take a closer look at server.cpp and client.cpp and you'll see how it works.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for your example code which helped me alot in order to establish a client-server connection using Botan. But I have confused the way you encrypt data in order to send it from one party to another. Also decryption is a little bit of ambiguous. And when do you use the certificate files in cert folder and public-private keys for cryptography stuff. Does Botan handle all these things by itself? If yes by which function call that you had called in you own code!
