| =head1 NAME |
| |
| SSL_CTX_free - free an allocated SSL_CTX object |
| |
| =head1 SYNOPSIS |
| |
| #include <openssl/ssl.h> |
| |
| void SSL_CTX_free(SSL_CTX *ctx); |
| |
| =head1 DESCRIPTION |
| |
| SSL_CTX_free() decrements the reference count of B<ctx>, and removes the |
| SSL_CTX object pointed to by B<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. |
| |
| =head1 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 B<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(B<ctx>, NULL) prior to calling SSL_CTX_free(). |
| |
| =head1 RETURN VALUES |
| |
| SSL_CTX_free() does not provide diagnostic information. |
