NAME
       SSL_SESSION_get_time, SSL_SESSION_set_time, SSL_SESSION_get_timeout, SSL_SESSION_set_timeout,
       SSL_SESSION_get_time_ex, SSL_SESSION_set_time_ex, SSL_get_time, SSL_set_time, SSL_get_timeout,
       SSL_set_timeout - retrieve and manipulate session time and timeout settings


SYNOPSIS
        #include <openssl/ssl.h>

        long SSL_SESSION_get_time(const SSL_SESSION *s);
        long SSL_SESSION_set_time(SSL_SESSION *s, long tm);
        long SSL_SESSION_get_timeout(const SSL_SESSION *s);
        long SSL_SESSION_set_timeout(SSL_SESSION *s, long tm);

        long SSL_get_time(const SSL_SESSION *s);
        long SSL_set_time(SSL_SESSION *s, long tm);
        long SSL_get_timeout(const SSL_SESSION *s);
        long SSL_set_timeout(SSL_SESSION *s, long tm);

        time_t SSL_SESSION_get_time_ex(const SSL_SESSION *s);
        time_t SSL_SESSION_set_time_ex(SSL_SESSION *s, time_t tm);


DESCRIPTION
       SSL_SESSION_get_time() 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.

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

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

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

       SSL_SESSION_get_time_ex() and SSL_SESSION_set_time_ex() extended functions use the time_t datatype
       instead of long to fix the Y2038 problem on systems with 64 bit time_t type.

       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
       SSL_CTX_set_timeout(3).  Using these functions it is possible to extend or shorten the lifetime of the
       session.


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

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

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


BUGS
       The data type long is typically 32 bits on many systems, hence the old functions SSL_SESSION_get_time()
       and SSL_SESSION_set_time() are not always Y2038 safe.
