5d2i_SSL_SESSION, i2d_SSL_SESSION - convert SSL_SESSION object from/to ASN1 representation
6
7=head1 SYNOPSIS
8
9 #include <openssl/ssl.h>
10
11 SSL_SESSION *d2i_SSL_SESSION(SSL_SESSION **a, const unsigned char **pp,
12                              long length);
13 int i2d_SSL_SESSION(SSL_SESSION *in, unsigned char **pp);
14
15=head1 DESCRIPTION
16
17These functions decode and encode an SSL_SESSION object.
18For encoding details see L<d2i_X509(3)>.
19
20SSL_SESSION objects keep internal link information about the session cache
21list, when being inserted into one SSL_CTX object's session cache.
22One SSL_SESSION object, regardless of its reference count, must therefore
23only be used with one SSL_CTX object (and the SSL objects created
24from this SSL_CTX object).
25
26=head1 RETURN VALUES
27
28d2i_SSL_SESSION() returns a pointer to the newly allocated SSL_SESSION
29object. In case of failure the NULL-pointer is returned and the error message
30can be retrieved from the error stack.
31
32i2d_SSL_SESSION() returns the size of the ASN1 representation in bytes.
33When the session is not valid, B<0> is returned and no operation is performed.
