SSL_set_session(3)
NAME
  SSL_set_session - Set a TLS/SSL session to be used during TLS/SSL connect

SYNOPSIS
  #include <openssl/ssl.h>

  int SSL_set_session(
	  SSL *ssl,
	  SSL_SESSION *session );

DESCRIPTION
  The SSL_set_session() function sets session to be used when the TLS/SSL
  connection is to be established. The SSL_set_session() function is only
  useful for TLS/SSL clients. When the session is set, the reference count of
  session is incremented by 1. If the session is not reused, the reference
  count is decremented again during SSL_connect() Whether the session was
  reused can be queried with the SSL_session_reused() function .

  If there is already a session set inside ssl (because it was set with
  SSL_set_session() before or because the same ssl was already used for a
  connection), SSL_SESSION_free() will be called for that session.

NOTES
  SSL_SESSION objects keep internal link information about the session cache
  list when being inserted into one SSL_CTX object's session cache.  One
  SSL_SESSION object, regardless of its reference count, must only be used
  with one SSL_CTX object and the SSL objects created from this	   SSL_CTX
  object.

RETURN VALUES
  The following return values can occur:

  0	  The operation failed; check the error stack to find out the reason.

  1	  The operation succeeded.
