SSL_free - free an allocated SSL structure
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
void SSL_free(SSL *ssl);
DESCRIPTION
SSL_free() decrements the reference count of ssl, and
removes the SSL structure pointed to by ssl and frees up
the allocated memory if the the reference count has
reached 0.
NOTES
SSL_free() also calls the free()ing procedures for
indirectly affected items, if applicable: the buffering
BIO, the read and write BIOs, cipher lists specially
created for this ssl, the SSL_SESSION. Do not explicitly
free these indirectly freed up items before or after
calling SSL_free(), as trying to free things twice may
lead to program failure.
The ssl session has reference counts from two users: the
SSL object, for which the reference count is removed by
SSL_free() and the internal session cache. If the session
is considered bad, because SSL_shutdown(3) was not called
for the connection and SSL_set_shutdown(3) was not used to
set the SSL_SENT_SHUTDOWN state, the session will also be
removed from the session cache as required by RFC2246.
RETURN VALUES
SSL_free() does not provide diagnostic information.
SSL_new(3), SSL_clear(3), SSL_shutdown(3),
SSL_set_shutdown(3), ssl(3)
