SSL_clear - reset SSL object to allow another connection


SYNOPSIS

        #include <openssl/ssl.h>

        int SSL_clear(SSL *ssl);


DESCRIPTION

       Reset ssl to allow another connection. All settings
       (method, ciphers, BIOs) are kept.


NOTES

       SSL_clear is used to prepare an SSL object for a new
       connection. While all settings are kept, a side effect is
       the handling of the current SSL session.  If a session is
       still open, it is considered bad and will be removed from
       the session cache, as required by RFC2246. A session is
       considered open, if SSL_shutdown(3) was not called for the
       connection or at least SSL_set_shutdown(3) was used to set
       the SSL_SENT_SHUTDOWN state.


RETURN VALUES

       The following return values can occur:

       0   The SSL_clear() operation could not be performed.
           Check the error stack to find out the reason.

       1   The SSL_clear() operation was successful.

       SSL_new(3), SSL_free(3), SSL_shutdown(3),
       SSL_set_shutdown(3), SSL_CTX_set_options(3), ssl(3)
