13*ebfedea0SLionel Sambuc=head1 DESCRIPTION
14*ebfedea0SLionel Sambuc
15*ebfedea0SLionel SambucSSL_CTX_sessions() returns a pointer to the lhash databases containing the
16*ebfedea0SLionel Sambucinternal session cache for B<ctx>.

18*ebfedea0SLionel Sambuc=head1 NOTES
19*ebfedea0SLionel Sambuc
20*ebfedea0SLionel SambucThe sessions in the internal session cache are kept in an
21*ebfedea0SLionel SambucL<lhash(3)|lhash(3)> type database. It is possible to directly
22*ebfedea0SLionel Sambucaccess this database e.g. for searching. In parallel, the sessions
23*ebfedea0SLionel Sambucform a linked list which is maintained separately from the
24*ebfedea0SLionel SambucL<lhash(3)|lhash(3)> operations, so that the database must not be
25*ebfedea0SLionel Sambucmodified directly but by using the
26*ebfedea0SLionel SambucL<SSL_CTX_add_session(3)|SSL_CTX_add_session(3)> family of functions.
