| 12 | .Sh SYNOPSIS | ||
| 13 | .In openssl/ssl.h | ||
| 14 | .Ft SSL_SESSION * | ||
| 15 | .Fn SSL_get_session "const SSL *ssl" | ||
| 16 | .Ft SSL_SESSION * | ||
| 17 | .Fn SSL_get0_session "const SSL *ssl" | ||
| 18 | .Ft SSL_SESSION * | ||
| 19 | .Fn SSL_get1_session "SSL *ssl" | ||
| 20 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | ||
| 21 | .Fn SSL_get_session | ||
| 22 | returns a pointer to the | ||
| 23 | .Vt SSL_SESSION | ||
| 24 | actually used in | ||
| 25 | .Fa ssl . | ||
| 26 | The reference count of the | ||
| 27 | .Vt SSL_SESSION | ||
| 28 | is not incremented, so that the pointer can become invalid by other operations. | ||
| 29 | .Pp | ||
| 30 | .Fn SSL_get0_session | ||
| 31 | is the same as | ||
| 32 | .Fn SSL_get_session . | ||
| 33 | .Pp | ||
| 34 | .Fn SSL_get1_session | ||
| 35 | is the same as | ||
| 36 | .Fn SSL_get_session , | ||
| 37 | but the reference count of the | ||
| 38 | .Vt SSL_SESSION | ||
| 39 | is incremented by one. | ||
| 40 | .Sh NOTES | ||
| 41 | The | ||
| 42 | Fa ssl | ||
| 43 | session contains all information required to re-establish the connection | ||
| 44 | without a new handshake. | ||
| 45 | .Pp | ||
| 46 | .Fn SSL_get0_session | ||
| 47 | returns a pointer to the actual session. | ||
| 48 | As the reference counter is not incremented, | ||
| 49 | the pointer is only valid while the connection is in use. | ||
| 50 | If | ||
| 51 | .Xr SSL_clear 3 | ||
| 52 | or | ||
| 53 | .Xr SSL_free 3 | ||
| 54 | is called, the session may be removed completely (if considered bad), | ||
| 55 | and the pointer obtained will become invalid. | ||
| 56 | Even if the session is valid, | ||
| 57 | it can be removed at any time due to timeout during | ||
| 58 | .Xr SSL_CTX_flush_sessions 3 . | ||
| 59 | .Pp | ||
| 60 | If the data is to be kept, | ||
| 61 | .Fn SSL_get1_session | ||
| 62 | will increment the reference count, so that the session will not be implicitly | ||
| 63 | removed by other operations but stays in memory. | ||
| 64 | In order to remove the session | ||
| 65 | .Xr SSL_SESSION_free 3 | ||
| 66 | must be explicitly called once to decrement the reference count again. | ||
| 67 | .Pp | ||
| 68 | .Vt SSL_SESSION | ||
| 69 | objects keep internal link information about the session cache list when being | ||
| 70 | inserted into one | ||
| 71 | .Vt SSL_CTX | ||
| 72 | object's session cache. | ||
| 73 | One | ||
| 74 | .Vt SSL_SESSION | ||
| 75 | object, regardless of its reference count, must therefore only be used with one | ||
| 76 | .Vt SSL_CTX | ||
| 77 | object (and the | ||
| 78 | .Vt SSL | ||
| 79 | objects created from this | ||
| 80 | .Vt SSL_CTX | ||
| 81 | object). | ||
| 82 | .Sh RETURN VALUES | ||
| 83 | The following return values can occur: | ||
| 84 | .Bl -tag -width Ds | ||
| 85 | .It Dv NULL | ||
| 86 | There is no session available in | ||
| 87 | .Fa ssl . | ||
| 88 | .It Pointer to an Vt SSL | ||
| 89 | The return value points to the data of an | ||
| 90 | .Vt SSL | ||
| 91 | session. | ||
