=head1 NAME
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SSL_free - free an allocated SSL structure
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
void SSL_free(SSL *ssl);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SSL_free() decrements the reference count of B<ssl>, and removes the SSL
|
||
|
|
structure pointed to by B<ssl> and frees up the allocated memory if the
|
||
|
|
reference count has reached 0.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SSL_free() also calls the free()ing procedures for indirectly affected items, if
|
||
|
|
applicable: the buffering BIO, the read and write BIOs,
|
||
|
|
cipher lists specially created for this B<ssl>, the B<SSL_SESSION>.
|
||
|
|
Do not explicitly free these indirectly freed up items before or after
|
||
|
|
calling SSL_free(), as trying to free things twice may lead to program
|
||
|
|
failure.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The ssl session has reference counts from two users: the SSL object, for
|
||
|
|
which the reference count is removed by SSL_free() and the internal
|
||
|
|
session cache. If the session is considered bad, because
|
||
|
|
L<SSL_shutdown(3)|SSL_shutdown(3)> was not called for the connection
|
||
|
|
and L<SSL_set_shutdown(3)|SSL_set_shutdown(3)> was not used to set the
|
||
|
|
SSL_SENT_SHUTDOWN state, the session will also be removed
|
||
|
|
from the session cache as required by RFC2246.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SSL_free() does not provide diagnostic information.
