.SH NAME
SSL_CTX_sessions \- access internal session cache
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 1
\& #include <openssl/ssl.h>
\&
\& LHASH_OF(SSL_SESSION) *SSL_CTX_sessions(SSL_CTX *ctx);
.Ve
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBSSL_CTX_sessions()\fR returns a pointer to the lhash databases containing the
internal session cache for \fBctx\fR.
.SH NOTES
.IX Header "NOTES"
The sessions in the internal session cache are kept in an
\&\fBLHASH\fR\|(3) type database. It is possible to directly
access this database e.g. for searching. In parallel, the sessions
form a linked list which is maintained separately from the
\&\fBLHASH\fR\|(3) operations, so that the database must not be
modified directly but by using the
\&\fBSSL_CTX_add_session\fR\|(3) family of functions.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBSSL_CTX_sessions()\fR returns a pointer to the lhash of \fBSSL_SESSION\fR.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.IX Header "SEE ALSO"
