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.
