NAME
SSL_dup, SSL_new, SSL_up_ref - create an SSL structure for a connection
LIBRARY
libcrypto, -lcrypto
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
SSL *SSL_dup(SSL *s);
SSL *SSL_new(SSL_CTX *ctx);
int SSL_up_ref(SSL *s);
DESCRIPTION
SSL_new() creates a new SSL structure which is needed to hold the data
for a TLS/SSL connection. The new structure inherits the settings of
the underlying context ctx: connection method, options, verification
settings, timeout settings. An SSL structure is reference counted.
Creating an SSL structure for the first time increments the reference
count. Freeing it (using SSL_free) decrements it. When the reference
count drops to zero, any memory or resources allocated to the SSL
structure are freed.
SSL_up_ref() increments the reference count for an existing SSL
structure.
SSL_dup() duplicates an existing SSL structure into a new allocated
one. All settings are inherited from the original SSL structure.
Dynamic data (i.e. existing connection details) are not copied, the
new SSL is set into an initial accept (server) or connect (client)
state.
RETURN VALUES
The following return values can occur:
NULL
The creation of a new SSL structure failed. Check the error stack
to find out the reason.
Pointer to an SSL structure
The return value points to an allocated SSL structure.
SSL_up_ref() returns 1 for success and 0 for failure.
