SSL_FREE(3ossl) OpenSSL SSL_FREE(3ossl)
NAME
SSL_free - free an allocated SSL structure
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
void SSL_free(SSL *ssl);
DESCRIPTION
SSL_free() decrements the reference count of ssl, and removes the SSL
structure pointed to by ssl and frees up the allocated memory if the
reference count has reached 0. If ssl is NULL nothing is done.
NOTES
SSL_free() 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 ssl, the SSL_SESSION. Do not
explicitly free these indirectly freed up items before or after calling
SSL_free(), 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 SSL_free() and the internal
session cache. If the session is considered bad, because
SSL_shutdown(3) was not called for the connection and
SSL_set_shutdown(3) was not used to set the SSL_SENT_SHUTDOWN state,
the session will also be removed from the session cache as required by
RFC2246.
RETURN VALUES
SSL_free() does not provide diagnostic information.
SSL_new(3), SSL_clear(3), SSL_shutdown(3), SSL_set_shutdown(3), ssl(7)
