SSLSESSIONgettime(3) OpenSSL SSLSESSIONgettime(3)

NAME
       SSLSESSIONgettime, SSLSESSIONsettime, SSLSESSIONgettimeout,
       SSLSESSIONgettimeout - retrieve and manipulate session time and
       timeout settings

SYNOPSIS
        #include 

        long SSLSESSIONgettime(const SSLSESSION *s);
        long SSLSESSIONsettime(SSLSESSION *s, long tm);
        long SSLSESSIONgettimeout(const SSLSESSION *s);
        long SSLSESSIONsettimeout(SSLSESSION *s, long tm);

        long SSLgettime(const SSLSESSION *s);
        long SSLsettime(SSLSESSION *s, long tm);
        long SSLgettimeout(const SSLSESSION *s);
        long SSLsettimeout(SSLSESSION *s, long tm);

DESCRIPTION
       SSLSESSIONgettime() returns the time at which the session ss was
       established. The time is given in seconds since the Epoch and therefore
       compatible to the time delivered by the time() call.

       SSLSESSIONsettime() replaces the creation time of the session ss with
       the chosen value ttmm.

       SSLSESSIONgettimeout() returns the timeout value set for session ss
       in seconds.

       SSLSESSIONsettimeout() sets the timeout value for session ss in
       seconds to ttmm.

       The SSLgettime(), SSLsettime(), SSLgettimeout(), and
       SSLsettimeout() functions are synonyms for the SSLSESSION*()
       counterparts.

NNOOTTEESS
       Sessions are expired by examining the creation time and the timeout
       value.  Both are set at creation time of the session to the actual time
       and the default timeout value at creation, respectively, as set by
       SSLCTXsettimeout(3).  Using these functions it is possible to extend
       or shorten the lifetime of the session.

RETURN VALUES
       SSLSESSIONgettime() and SSLSESSIONgettimeout() return the
       currently valid values.

       SSLSESSIONsettime() and SSLSESSIONsettimeout() return 1 on
       success.

       If any of the function is passed the NULL pointer for the session ss, 0
       is returned.
