SSL_get_default_timeout(3)
NAME
  SSL_get_default_timeout - Get default session timeout value

SYNOPSIS
  #include <openssl/ssl.h>

  long SSL_get_default_timeout(
	  SSL *ssl );

DESCRIPTION
  The SSL_get_default_timeout() function returns the default timeout value
  assigned to SSL_SESSION objects negotiated for the protocol valid for ssl.

NOTES
  Whenever a new session is negotiated, it is assigned a timeout value, after
  which it will not be accepted for session reuse. If the timeout value was
  not explicitly set using SSL_CTX_set_timeout(), the hardcoded default
  timeout for the protocol will be used.

  The SSL_get_default_timeout() function returns this hardcoded value, which
  is 300 seconds for all currently supported protocols (SSLv2, SSLv3, and
  TLSv1).

RETURN VALUES
  See description.
