SSLCTXsesssetcachesize(3) OpenSSL SSLCTXsesssetcachesize(3)

NAME
       SSLCTXsesssetcachesize, SSLCTXsessgetcachesize - manipulate
       session cache size

SYNOPSIS
        #include 

        long SSLCTXsesssetcachesize(SSLCTX *ctx, long t);
        long SSLCTXsessgetcachesize(SSLCTX *ctx);

DESCRIPTION
       SSLCTXsesssetcachesize() sets the size of the internal session
       cache of context ccttxx to tt.

       SSLCTXsessgetcachesize() returns the currently valid session cache
       size.

NNOOTTEESS
       The internal session cache size is SSLSESSIONCACHEMAXSIZEDEFAULT,
       currently 1024*20, so that up to 20000 sessions can be held. This size
       can be modified using the SSLCTXsesssetcachesize() call. A special
       case is the size 0, which is used for unlimited size.

       When the maximum number of sessions is reached, no more new sessions
       are added to the cache. New space may be added by calling
       SSLCTXflushsessions(3) to remove expired sessions.

       If the size of the session cache is reduced and more sessions are
       already in the session cache, old session will be removed at the next
       time a session shall be added. This removal is not synchronized with
       the expiration of sessions.

RETURN VALUES
       SSLCTXsesssetcachesize() returns the previously valid size.

       SSLCTXsessgetcachesize() returns the currently valid size.
