<h1 id="NAME">NAME</h1>

<p>SSL_CTX_sess_set_cache_size, SSL_CTX_sess_get_cache_size - manipulate session cache size</p>

<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>

<pre><code>#include &lt;openssl/ssl.h&gt;

long SSL_CTX_sess_set_cache_size(SSL_CTX *ctx, long t);
long SSL_CTX_sess_get_cache_size(SSL_CTX *ctx);</code></pre>

<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>

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

<p>SSL_CTX_sess_get_cache_size() returns the currently valid session cache size.</p>

<h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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 <a href="../man3/SSL_CTX_flush_sessions.html">SSL_CTX_flush_sessions(3)</a> to remove expired sessions.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>

<p>SSL_CTX_sess_set_cache_size() returns the previously valid size.</p>

<p>SSL_CTX_sess_get_cache_size() returns the currently valid size.</p>
