=head1 NAME
SSL_CTX_add_session, SSL_add_session, SSL_CTX_remove_session, SSL_remove_session - manipulate session cache
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
int SSL_CTX_add_session(SSL_CTX *ctx, SSL_SESSION *c);
int SSL_add_session(SSL_CTX *ctx, SSL_SESSION *c);
int SSL_CTX_remove_session(SSL_CTX *ctx, SSL_SESSION *c);
int SSL_remove_session(SSL_CTX *ctx, SSL_SESSION *c);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
SSL_CTX_add_session() adds the session B<c> to the context B<ctx>. The
reference count for session B<c> is incremented by 1. If a session with
the same session id already exists, the old session is removed by calling
L<SSL_SESSION_free(3)|SSL_SESSION_free(3)>.
SSL_CTX_remove_session() removes the session B<c> from the context B<ctx>.
L<SSL_SESSION_free(3)|SSL_SESSION_free(3)> is called once for B<c>.
SSL_add_session() and SSL_remove_session() are synonyms for their
SSL_CTX_*() counterparts.
=head1 NOTES
When adding a new session to the internal session cache, it is examined
whether a session with the same session id already exists. In this case
it is assumed that both sessions are identical. If the same session is
stored in a different SSL_SESSION object, The old session is
removed and replaced by the new session. If the session is actually
identical (the SSL_SESSION object is identical), SSL_CTX_add_session()
is a no-op, and the return value is 0.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
The following values are returned by all functions:
=over 4
=item 0
The operation failed. In case of the add operation, it was tried to add
the same (identical) session twice. In case of the remove operation, the
session was not found in the cache.
=item 1
The operation succeeded.
