=head1 NAME
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
SSL_get_session, SSL_get0_session, SSL_get1_session - retrieve TLS/SSL session data
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 #include <openssl/ssl.h>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 SSL_SESSION *SSL_get_session(const SSL *ssl);
 | 
						|
 SSL_SESSION *SSL_get0_session(const SSL *ssl);
 | 
						|
 SSL_SESSION *SSL_get1_session(SSL *ssl);
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
SSL_get_session() returns a pointer to the B<SSL_SESSION> actually used in
 | 
						|
B<ssl>. The reference count of the B<SSL_SESSION> is not incremented, so
 | 
						|
that the pointer can become invalid by other operations.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
SSL_get0_session() is the same as SSL_get_session().
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
SSL_get1_session() is the same as SSL_get_session(), but the reference
 | 
						|
count of the B<SSL_SESSION> is incremented by one.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=head1 NOTES
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The ssl session contains all information required to re-establish the
 | 
						|
connection without a new handshake.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
SSL_get0_session() returns a pointer to the actual session. As the
 | 
						|
reference counter is not incremented, the pointer is only valid while
 | 
						|
the connection is in use. If L<SSL_clear(3)> or
 | 
						|
L<SSL_free(3)> is called, the session may be removed completely
 | 
						|
(if considered bad), and the pointer obtained will become invalid. Even
 | 
						|
if the session is valid, it can be removed at any time due to timeout
 | 
						|
during L<SSL_CTX_flush_sessions(3)>.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If the data is to be kept, SSL_get1_session() will increment the reference
 | 
						|
count, so that the session will not be implicitly removed by other operations
 | 
						|
but stays in memory. In order to remove the session
 | 
						|
L<SSL_SESSION_free(3)> must be explicitly called once
 | 
						|
to decrement the reference count again.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
SSL_SESSION objects keep internal link information about the session cache
 | 
						|
list, when being inserted into one SSL_CTX object's session cache.
 | 
						|
One SSL_SESSION object, regardless of its reference count, must therefore
 | 
						|
only be used with one SSL_CTX object (and the SSL objects created
 | 
						|
from this SSL_CTX object).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The following return values can occur:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=over 4
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item NULL
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
There is no session available in B<ssl>.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item Pointer to an SSL_SESSION
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The return value points to the data of an SSL session.
