SSL_SESSION_NEW(3)         Library Functions Manual         SSL_SESSION_NEW(3)

NAME
     SSL_SESSION_new, SSL_SESSION_dup - construct a new SSL_SESSION object

SYNOPSIS
     library "libssl" libcrypto
     #include <openssl/ssl.h>

     SSL_SESSION *
     SSL_SESSION_new(void);

     SSL_SESSION *
     SSL_SESSION_dup(const SSL_SESSION *src);

DESCRIPTION
     SSL_SESSION_new() allocates and initializes a new SSL_SESSION object.
     The reference count is set to 1, the time to the current time, and the
     timeout to five minutes.

     When the object is no longer needed, it can be destructed with
     SSL_SESSION_free(3).

     SSL_SESSION_new() is used internally, for example by SSL_connect(3).

     SSL_SESSION_dup() creates a deep copy of src with the exception that the
     reference count is set to 1, that the peer certificate is shared with
     src, and that the new session is not part of any session cache.

RETURN VALUES
     SSL_SESSION_new() and SSL_SESSION_dup() return the new SSL_SESSION object
     or NULL if insufficient memory is available.

     After failure, ERR_get_error(3) returns ERR_R_MALLOC_FAILURE.
