=head1 NAME
SSL_clear - reset SSL object to allow another connection
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
int SSL_clear(SSL *ssl);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Reset B<ssl> to allow another connection. All settings (method, ciphers,
BIOs) are kept.
=head1 NOTES
SSL_clear is used to prepare an SSL object for a new connection. While all
settings are kept, a side effect is the handling of the current SSL session.
If a session is still B<open>, it is considered bad and will be removed
from the session cache, as required by RFC2246. A session is considered open,
if L<SSL_shutdown(3)|SSL_shutdown(3)> was not called for the connection
or at least L<SSL_set_shutdown(3)|SSL_set_shutdown(3)> was used to
set the SSL_SENT_SHUTDOWN state.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
The following return values can occur:
=over 4
=item 0
The SSL_clear() operation could not be performed. Check the error stack to
find out the reason.
