SSL_SESSION_get_time(3)
NAME
  SSL_SESSION_get_time, SSL_SESSION_set_time, SSL_SESSION_get_timeout,
  SSL_SESSION_set_timeout - Retrieve and manipulate session time and timeout
  settings

SYNOPSIS
  #include <openssl/ssl.h>

  long SSL_SESSION_get_time(
	  SSL_SESSION *s );

  long SSL_SESSION_set_time(
	  SSL_SESSION *s,
	  long tm );

  long SSL_SESSION_get_timeout(
	  SSL_SESSION *s );

  long SSL_SESSION_set_timeout(
	  SSL_SESSION *s,
	  long tm );

  long SSL_get_time(
	  SSL_SESSION *s );

  long SSL_set_time(
	  SSL_SESSION *s,
	  long tm );

  long SSL_get_timeout(
	  SSL_SESSION *s );

  long SSL_set_timeout(
	  SSL_SESSION *s,
	  long tm );

DESCRIPTION
  The SSL_SESSION_get_time() function returns the time at which the session s
  was established. The time is given in seconds since the Epoch and therefore
  compatible to the time delivered by the time() call.

  The SSL_SESSION_set_time() function replaces the creation time of the
  session s with the chosen value tm.

  The SSL_SESSION_get_timeout() function returns the timeout value set for
  session s in seconds.

  The SSL_SESSION_set_timeout() function sets the timeout value for session s
  in seconds to tm.

  The SSL_get_time(), SSL_set_time(), SSL_get_timeout(), and
  SSL_set_timeout() functions are synonyms for the SSL_SESSION_*()
  counterparts.

NOTES
  Sessions are expired by examining the creation time and the timeout value.
  Both are set at creation time of the session to the actual time and the
  default timeout value at creation, respectively, as set by the
  SSL_CTX_set_timeout() function. Using these functions it is possible to
  extend or shorten the lifetime of the session.

RETURN VALUES
  The SSL_SESSION_get_time() and SSL_SESSION_get_timeout() functions return
  the currently valid values.

  The SSL_SESSION_set_time() and SSL_SESSION_set_timeout() functions return 1
  on success.

  If any of the function is passed the NULL pointer for the session s,	0 is
  returned.
