# NAME

SSL_CTX_sessions - access internal session cache

# LIBRARY

libcrypto, -lcrypto

# SYNOPSIS

#include <openssl/ssl.h> struct lhash_st *SSL_CTX_sessions(SSL_CTX *ctx);

# DESCRIPTION

SSL_CTX_sessions() returns a pointer to the lhash databases containing the internal session cache for ctx.

# NOTES

The sessions in the internal session cache are kept in an openssl_lhash(3) type database. It is possible to directly access this database e.g. for searching. In parallel, the sessions form a linked list which is maintained separately from the openssl_lhash(3) operations, so that the database must not be modified directly but by using the SSL_CTX_add_session(3) family of functions.
