PEM_READ_SSL_SESSION(3)

NAME
PEM_read_SSL_SESSION, PEM_read_bio_SSL_SESSION, PEM_write_SSL_SESSION, PEM_write_bio_SSL_SESSION - encode and decode SSL session objects in PEM format

SYNOPSIS
libssl libcrypto
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
SSL_SESSION *
PEM_read_SSL_SESSION(FILE *fp, SSL_SESSION **a, pem_password_cb *cb, void *u);
SSL_SESSION *
PEM_read_bio_SSL_SESSION(BIO *bp, SSL_SESSION **a, pem_password_cb *cb, void *u);
int
PEM_write_SSL_SESSION(FILE *fp, const SSL_SESSION *a);
int
PEM_write_bio_SSL_SESSION(BIO *bp, const SSL_SESSION *a);

DESCRIPTION
These routines convert between local instances of ASN.1 SSL_SESSION objects and the PEM encoding.

PEM_read_SSL_SESSION() reads a PEM-encoded SSL_SESSION object from the file fp and returns it. The cb and u parameters are as described in PEM_read_bio_PrivateKey(3).

PEM_read_bio_SSL_SESSION() is similar to PEM_read_SSL_SESSION() but reads from the BIO bp.

PEM_write_SSL_SESSION() writes the PEM encoding of the object a to the file fp.

PEM_write_bio_SSL_SESSION() similarly writes to the BIO bp.

RETURN VALUES
PEM_read_SSL_SESSION() and PEM_read_bio_SSL_SESSION() return a pointer to an allocated object, which should be released by calling SSL_SESSION_free(3), or NULL on error.

PEM_write_SSL_SESSION() and PEM_write_bio_SSL_SESSION() return the number of bytes written or 0 on error.
