NAME

       SSL_CTX_sess_set_cache_size, SSL_CTX_sess_get_cache_size - manipulate session cache size

SYNOPSIS

        #include <openssl/ssl.h>

        long SSL_CTX_sess_set_cache_size(SSL_CTX *ctx, long t);
        long SSL_CTX_sess_get_cache_size(SSL_CTX *ctx);

DESCRIPTION

       SSL_CTX_sess_set_cache_size() sets the size of the internal session cache of context ctx to t.  This
       value is a hint and not an absolute; see the notes below.

       SSL_CTX_sess_get_cache_size() returns the currently valid session cache size.

NOTES

       The internal session cache size is SSL_SESSION_CACHE_MAX_SIZE_DEFAULT, currently 1024*20, so that up to
       20000 sessions can be held. This size can be modified using the SSL_CTX_sess_set_cache_size() call. A
       special case is the size 0, which is used for unlimited size.

       If adding the session makes the cache exceed its size, then unused sessions are dropped from the end of
       the cache.  Cache space may also be reclaimed by calling SSL_CTX_flush_sessions(3) to remove expired
       sessions.

       If the size of the session cache is reduced and more sessions are already in the session cache, old
       session will be removed at the next time a session shall be added. This removal is not synchronized with
       the expiration of sessions.

RETURN VALUES

       SSL_CTX_sess_set_cache_size() returns the previously valid size.

       SSL_CTX_sess_get_cache_size() returns the currently valid size.
