NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       SSL_CTX_free - free an allocated SSL_CTX object

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

        #include <openssl/ssl.h>

        void SSL_CTX_free(SSL_CTX *ctx);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       SSL_CTX_free() decrements the reference count of ctx, and
       removes the SSL_CTX object pointed to by ctx and frees up
       the allocated memory if the the reference count has
       reached 0.

       It also calls the free()ing procedures for indirectly
       affected items, if applicable: the session cache, the list
       of ciphers, the list of Client CAs, the certificates and
       keys.

WARNINGS    [Toc]    [Back]

       If a session-remove callback is set
       (SSL_CTX_sess_set_remove_cb()), this callback will be
       called for each session being freed from ctx's session
       cache. This implies, that all corresponding sessions from
       an external session cache are removed as well. If this is
       not desired, the user should explicitly unset the callback
       by calling SSL_CTX_sess_set_remove_cb(ctx, NULL) prior to
       calling SSL_CTX_free().

RETURN VALUES    [Toc]    [Back]

       SSL_CTX_free() does not provide diagnostic information.
