=head1 DESCRIPTION

SSL_CTX_sess_set_new_cb() sets the callback function, which is automatically
called whenever a new session was negotiated.

SSL_CTX_sess_set_remove_cb() sets the callback function, which is
automatically called whenever a session is removed by the SSL engine,
because it is considered faulty or the session has become obsolete because
of exceeding the timeout value.

SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb() sets the callback function which is called,
whenever a SSL/TLS client proposed to resume a session but the session
could not be found in the internal session cache (see
L<SSL_CTX_set_session_cache_mode(3)|SSL_CTX_set_session_cache_mode(3)>).
(SSL/TLS server only.)

SSL_CTX_sess_get_new_cb(), SSL_CTX_sess_get_remove_cb(), and
SSL_CTX_sess_get_get_cb() allow to retrieve the function pointers of the
provided callback functions. If a callback function has not been set,
the NULL pointer is returned.

=head1 NOTES

In order to allow external session caching, synchronization with the internal
session cache is realized via callback functions. Inside these callback
functions, session can be saved to disk or put into a database using the
L<d2i_SSL_SESSION(3)|d2i_SSL_SESSION(3)> interface.

The new_session_cb() is called, whenever a new session has been negotiated
and session caching is enabled (see
L<SSL_CTX_set_session_cache_mode(3)|SSL_CTX_set_session_cache_mode(3)>).
The new_session_cb() is passed the B<ssl> connection and the ssl session
B<sess>. If the callback returns B<0>, the session will be immediately
removed again.

The remove_session_cb() is called, whenever the SSL engine removes a session
from the internal cache. This happens if the session is removed because
it is expired or when a connection was not shutdown cleanly. The
remove_session_cb() is passed the B<ctx> and the ssl session B<sess>.
It does not provide any feedback.

The get_session_cb() is only called on SSL/TLS servers with the session id
proposed by the client. The get_session_cb() is always called, also when
session caching was disabled. The get_session_cb() is passed the
B<ssl> connection, the session id of length B<length> at the memory location
B<data>. With the parameter B<copy> the callback can require the
SSL engine to increment the reference count of the SSL_SESSION object,
Normally the reference count is not incremented and therefore the
session must not be explicitly freed with
L<SSL_SESSION_free(3)|SSL_SESSION_free(3)>.
