+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Several OpenSSL structures can have application specific data attached to them.
+These functions are used internally by OpenSSL to manipulate application
+specific data attached to a specific structure.
+
+SSL_CTX_get_ex_new_index() is used to register a new index for application
+specific data.
+
+SSL_CTX_set_ex_data() is used to store application data at B<arg> for B<idx>
+into the B<ctx> object.
+
+SSL_CTX_get_ex_data() is used to retrieve the information for B<idx> from
+B<ctx>.
+
+A detailed description for the B<*_get_ex_new_index()> functionality
+can be found in L<RSA_get_ex_new_index.pod(3)|RSA_get_ex_new_index.pod(3)>.
+The B<*_get_ex_data()> and B<*_set_ex_data()> functionality is described in
+L<CRYPTO_set_ex_data(3)|CRYPTO_set_ex_data(3)>.

+
+=head1 WARNINGS
+
+The application data is only maintained for sessions held in memory. The
+application data is not included when dumping the session with
+i2d_SSL_SESSION() (and all functions indirectly calling the dump functions
+like PEM_write_SSL_SESSION() and PEM_write_bio_SSL_SESSION()) and can
+therefore not be restored.
