+
d2i_SSL_SESSION, i2d_SSL_SESSION - convert SSL_SESSION object from/to ASN1 representation
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
- SSL_SESSION *d2i_SSL_SESSION(SSL_SESSION **a, unsigned char **pp, long length);
+ SSL_SESSION *d2i_SSL_SESSION(SSL_SESSION **a, const unsigned char **pp, long length);
int i2d_SSL_SESSION(SSL_SESSION *in, unsigned char **pp);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
a binary ASN1 representation.
When using d2i_SSL_SESSION(), the SSL_SESSION object is automatically
-allocated.
+allocated. The reference count is 1, so that the session must be
+explicitly removed using L<SSL_SESSION_free(3)|SSL_SESSION_free(3)>,
+unless the SSL_SESSION object is completely taken over, when being called
+inside the get_session_cb() (see
+L<SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb(3)|SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb(3)>).
+
+SSL_SESSION objects keep internal link information about the session cache
+list, when being inserted into one SSL_CTX object's session cache.
+One SSL_SESSION object, regardless of its reference count, must therefore
+only be used with one SSL_CTX object (and the SSL objects created
+from this SSL_CTX object).
When using i2d_SSL_SESSION(), the memory location pointed to by B<pp> must be
large enough to hold the binary representation of the session. There is no
