SSL_SESSION_get_ex_new_index(3)

NAME

SSL_SESSION_get_ex_new_index, SSL_SESSION_set_ex_data, SSL_SESSION_get_ex_data - Unternal application specific data functions

SYNOPSIS

#include <openssl/ssl.h> int SSL_SESSION_get_ex_new_index( long argl, void *argp, CRYPTO_EX_new *new_func, CRYPTO_EX_dup *dup_func, CRYPTO_EX_free *free_func ); int SSL_SESSION_set_ex_data( SSL_SESSION *session, int idx, void *arg ); void *SSL_SESSION_get_ex_data( SSL_SESSION *session, int idx ); typedef int new_func( void *parent, void *ptr, CRYPTO_EX_DATA *ad, int idx, long argl, void *argp ); typedef void free_func( oid *parent, void *ptr, CRYPTO_EX_DATA *ad, int idx, long argl, void *argp ); typedef int dup_func( CRYPTO_EX_DATA *to, CRYPTO_EX_DATA *from, void *from_d, int idx, long argl, void *argp );

DESCRIPTION

Several OpenSSL structures can have application specific data attached to them. These functions are used internally by OpenSSL to manipulate application specific data attached to a specific structure. The SSL_SESSION_get_ex_new_index() function is used to register a new index for application specific data. The SSL_SESSION_set_ex_data() function is used to store application data at arg for idx into the session object. The SSL_SESSION_get_ex_data() function is used to retrieve the information for idx from session. A detailed description for the *_get_ex_new_index() functionality can be found in RSA_get_ex_new_index(). The *_get_ex_data() and *_set_ex_data() functionality is described in CRYPTO_set_ex_data().

RESTRICTIONS

The application data is only maintained for sessions held in memory. The application data is not included when dumping the session with the i2d_SSL_SESSION() function, as well as all functions indirectly calling the dump functions, such as the PEM_write_SSL_SESSION() and PEM_write_bio_SSL_SESSION()functions. It cannot be restored.
