SSL_CTX_free(3)

SSL_CTX_free(3)              OpenSSL              SSL_CTX_free(3)

NAME

     SSL_CTX_free - free an allocated SSL_CTX object

SYNOPSIS

      #include <openssl/ssl.h>

      void SSL_CTX_free(SSL_CTX *ctx);

DESCRIPTION

     SSL_CTX_free() decrements the reference count of ctx, and
     removes the SSL_CTX object pointed to by ctx and frees up
     the allocated memory if the the reference count has reached
     0.

     It also calls the free()ing procedures for indirectly
     affected items, if applicable: the session cache, the list
     of ciphers, the list of Client CAs, the certificates and
     keys.

WARNINGS

     If a session-remove callback is set
     (SSL_CTX_sess_set_remove_cb()), this callback will be called
     for each session being freed from ctx's session cache. This
     implies, that all corresponding sessions from an external
     session cache are removed as well. If this is not desired,
     the user should explicitly unset the callback by calling
     SSL_CTX_sess_set_remove_cb(ctx, NULL) prior to calling
     SSL_CTX_free().

RETURN VALUES

     SSL_CTX_free() does not provide diagnostic information.
