7*4724848cSchristos=head1 SYNOPSIS
8*4724848cSchristos
9*4724848cSchristos #include <openssl/ssl.h>
10*4724848cSchristos
11*4724848cSchristos int SSL_set_session(SSL *ssl, SSL_SESSION *session);
12*4724848cSchristos
13*4724848cSchristos=head1 DESCRIPTION
14*4724848cSchristos
15*4724848cSchristosSSL_set_session() sets B<session> to be used when the TLS/SSL connection
16*4724848cSchristosis to be established. SSL_set_session() is only useful for TLS/SSL clients.
17*4724848cSchristosWhen the session is set, the reference count of B<session> is incremented
18*4724848cSchristosby 1. If the session is not reused, the reference count is decremented
19*4724848cSchristosagain during SSL_connect(). Whether the session was reused can be queried
20*4724848cSchristoswith the L<SSL_session_reused(3)> call.
21*4724848cSchristos
22*4724848cSchristosIf there is already a session set inside B<ssl> (because it was set with
23*4724848cSchristosSSL_set_session() before or because the same B<ssl> was already used for
24*4724848cSchristosa connection), SSL_SESSION_free() will be called for that session. If that old
25*4724848cSchristossession is still B<open>, it is considered bad and will be removed from the
26*4724848cSchristossession cache (if used). A session is considered open, if L<SSL_shutdown(3)> was
27*4724848cSchristosnot called for the connection (or at least L<SSL_set_shutdown(3)> was used to
28*4724848cSchristosset the SSL_SENT_SHUTDOWN state).
29*4724848cSchristos
30*4724848cSchristos=head1 NOTES
31*4724848cSchristos
32*4724848cSchristosSSL_SESSION objects keep internal link information about the session cache
33*4724848cSchristoslist, when being inserted into one SSL_CTX object's session cache.
34*4724848cSchristosOne SSL_SESSION object, regardless of its reference count, must therefore
35*4724848cSchristosonly be used with one SSL_CTX object (and the SSL objects created
36*4724848cSchristosfrom this SSL_CTX object).
