+.Sh NAME
+.Nm SSL_CTX_sessions
+.Nd access internal session cache
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In openssl/ssl.h
+.Ft struct lhash_st *
+.Fn SSL_CTX_sessions "SSL_CTX *ctx"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Fn SSL_CTX_sessions
+returns a pointer to the lhash databases containing the internal session cache
+for
+.Fa ctx .
+.Sh NOTES
+The sessions in the internal session cache are kept in an
+.Xr 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
+.Xr lhash 3
+operations, so that the database must not be modified directly but by using the
+.Xr SSL_CTX_add_session 3
+family of functions.
