143 SSL_SESSION_free \- free an allocated SSL_SESSION structure
147 .IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
149 \& #include <openssl/ssl.h>
151 \& void SSL_SESSION_free(SSL_SESSION *session);
154 .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
155 \&\fISSL_SESSION_free()\fR decrements the reference count of \fBsession\fR and removes
156 the \fB\s-1SSL_SESSION\s0\fR structure pointed to by \fBsession\fR and frees up the allocated
157 memory, if the reference count has reached 0.
160 \&\s-1SSL_SESSION\s0 objects are allocated, when a \s-1TLS/SSL\s0 handshake operation
161 is successfully completed. Depending on the settings, see
162 \&\fISSL_CTX_set_session_cache_mode\fR\|(3),
163 the \s-1SSL_SESSION\s0 objects are internally referenced by the \s-1SSL_CTX\s0 and
164 linked into its session cache. \s-1SSL\s0 objects may be using the \s-1SSL_SESSION\s0 object;
165 as a session may be reused, several \s-1SSL\s0 objects may be using one \s-1SSL_SESSION\s0
166 object at the same time. It is therefore crucial to keep the reference
167 count (usage information) correct and not delete a \s-1SSL_SESSION\s0 object
168 that is still used, as this may lead to program failures due to
169 dangling pointers. These failures may also appear delayed, e.g.
170 when an \s-1SSL_SESSION\s0 object was completely freed as the reference count
171 incorrectly became 0, but it is still referenced in the internal
172 session cache and the cache list is processed during a
173 \&\fISSL_CTX_flush_sessions\fR\|(3) operation.
175 \&\fISSL_SESSION_free()\fR must only be called for \s-1SSL_SESSION\s0 objects, for
176 which the reference count was explicitly incremented (e.g.
177 by calling \fISSL_get1_session()\fR, see \fISSL_get_session\fR\|(3))
178 or when the \s-1SSL_SESSION\s0 object was generated outside a \s-1TLS\s0 handshake
179 operation, e.g. by using \fId2i_SSL_SESSION\fR\|(3).
180 It must not be called on other \s-1SSL_SESSION\s0 objects, as this would cause
181 incorrect reference counts and therefore program failures.
