9 #include <openssl/ssl.h>
10
11 SSL_SESSION *d2i_SSL_SESSION(SSL_SESSION **a, const unsigned char **pp,
12                              long length);
13 SSL_SESSION *d2i_SSL_SESSION_ex(SSL_SESSION **a, const unsigned char **pp,
14                                 long length, OSSL_LIB_CTX *libctx,
15                                 const char *propq);
16 int i2d_SSL_SESSION(SSL_SESSION *in, unsigned char **pp);

18=head1 DESCRIPTION
19
20These functions decode and encode an SSL_SESSION object.
21For encoding details see L<d2i_X509(3)>.
22
23SSL_SESSION objects keep internal link information about the session cache
24list, when being inserted into one SSL_CTX object's session cache.
25One SSL_SESSION object, regardless of its reference count, must therefore
26only be used with one SSL_CTX object (and the SSL objects created
27from this SSL_CTX object).
28
29=head1 RETURN VALUES
30
31d2i_SSL_SESSION() and d2i_SSL_SESSION_ex() return a pointer to the newly
32allocated SSL_SESSION object.
33In case of failure the NULL-pointer is returned and the error message
34can be retrieved from the error stack.
35
36i2d_SSL_SESSION() returns the size of the ASN1 representation in bytes.
37When the session is not valid, B<0> is returned and no operation is performed.
