SSLCTXflushsessions(3) OpenSSL SSLCTXflushsessions(3)

NAME
       SSLCTXflushsessions, SSLflushsessions - remove expired sessions

SYNOPSIS
        #include 

        void SSLCTXflushsessions(SSLCTX *ctx, long tm);
        void SSLflushsessions(SSLCTX *ctx, long tm);

DESCRIPTION
       SSLCTXflushsessions() causes a run through the session cache of ccttxx
       to remove sessions expired at time ttmm.

       SSLflushsessions() is a synonym for SSLCTXflushsessions().

NNOOTTEESS
       If enabled, the internal session cache will collect all sessions
       established up to the specified maximum number (see
       SSLCTXsesssetcachesize()).  As sessions will not be reused ones
       they are expired, they should be removed from the cache to save
       resources. This can either be done
        automatically whenever 255 new sessions were established (see
       SSLCTXsetsessioncachemode(3)) or manually by calling
       SSLCTXflushsessions().

       The parameter ttmm specifies the time which should be used for the
       expiration test, in most cases the actual time given by time(0) will be
       used.

       SSLCTXflushsessions() will only check sessions stored in the
       internal cache. When a session is found and removed, the
       removesessioncb is however called to synchronize with the external
       cache (see SSLCTXsesssetgetcb(3)).
