NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       SSL_CTX_sessions - access internal session cache

LIBRARY    [Toc]    [Back]

       libcrypto, -lcrypto

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

        #include <openssl/ssl.h>

        struct lhash_st *SSL_CTX_sessions(SSL_CTX *ctx);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       SSL_CTX_sessions() returns a pointer to the lhash
       databases containing the internal session cache for ctx.

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

       The sessions in the internal session cache are kept in an
       openssl_lhash(3) type database. It is possible to directly
       access this database e.g. for searching. In parallel, the
       sessions form a linked list which is maintained separately
       from the openssl_lhash(3) operations, so that the database
       must not be modified directly but by using the
       SSL_CTX_add_session(3) family of functions.
