NAME

       ssl_session_cache_api - Defines the API for the TLS session cache so
           that the data storage scheme can be replaced by
           defining a new callback module implementing this API.

COMMON DATA TYPES

       The following data types are used in the functions below:

       cache_ref() = opaque()

       key() = {partialkey(), session_id()}

       partialkey() = opaque()

       session_id() = binary()

       session() = opaque()

EXPORTS

       delete(Cache, Key) -> _

              Types:

                  Cache = cache_ref()
                  Key = key()

              Deletes a cache entry. Will only be called from the cache handling process.

       foldl(Fun, Acc0, Cache) -> Acc

              Types:

              Calls  Fun(Elem,  AccIn)  on  successive elements of the cache, starting with AccIn == Acc0. Fun/2
              must return a new accumulator which is passed to the next call. The  function  returns  the  final
              value of the accumulator. Acc0 is returned if the cache is empty.

       init() -> opaque()

              Types:

              Performs  possible initializations of the cache and returns a reference to it that will be used as
              parameter to the other api functions.  Will  be  called  by  the  cache  handling  processes  init
              function, hence putting the same requirements on it as a normal process init function.

       lookup(Cache, Key) -> Entry

              Types:

                  Cache = cache_ref()
                  Key = key()
                  Entry = session() | undefined

              Looks up a cache entry. Should be callable from any process.

       select_session(Cache, PartialKey) -> [session()]

              Types:

                  Cache = cache_ref()
                  PartialKey = partialkey()
                  Session = session()

              Selects sessions that could be reused. Should be callable from any process.

       terminate(Cache) -> _

              Types:

                 Cache = term() - as returned by init/0

              Takes care of possible cleanup that is needed when the cache handling process terminates.

       update(Cache, Key, Session) -> _

              Types:

                  Cache = cache_ref()
                  Key = key()
                  Session = session()

              Caches  a new session or updates a already cached one. Will only be called from the cache handling
              process.
