SSLfree(3) OpenSSL SSLfree(3)

NAME
       SSLfree - free an allocated SSL structure

SYNOPSIS
        #include 

        void SSLfree(SSL *ssl);

DESCRIPTION
       SSLfree() decrements the reference count of ssssll, and removes the SSL
       structure pointed to by ssssll and frees up the allocated memory if the
       the reference count has reached 0.

NNOOTTEESS
       SSLfree() also calls the free()ing procedures for indirectly affected
       items, if applicable: the buffering BIO, the read and write BIOs,
       cipher lists specially created for this ssssll, the SSSSLLSSEESSSSIIOONN.  Do not
       explicitly free these indirectly freed up items before or after calling
       SSLfree(), as trying to free things twice may lead to program failure.

       The ssl session has reference counts from two users: the SSL object,
       for which the reference count is removed by SSLfree() and the internal
       session cache. If the session is considered bad, because
       SSLshutdown(3) was not called for the connection and
       SSLsetshutdown(3) was not used to set the SSLSENTSHUTDOWN state,
       the session will also be removed from the session cache as required by
       RFC2246.

RETURN VALUES
       SSLfree() does not provide diagnostic information.

       SSLnew(3), SSLclear(3), SSLshutdown(3), SSLsetshutdown(3), ssl(3)
