# NAME

SSL_CTX_flush_sessions, SSL_flush_sessions - remove expired sessions

# SYNOPSIS

     #include <openssl/ssl.h>

     void SSL_CTX_flush_sessions(SSL_CTX *ctx, long tm);
     void SSL_flush_sessions(SSL_CTX *ctx, long tm);

# DESCRIPTION

SSL_CTX_flush_sessions() causes a run through the session cache of ctx to remove sessions expired at time tm.

SSL_flush_sessions() is a synonym for SSL_CTX_flush_sessions().

# NOTES

If enabled, the internal session cache will collect all sessions established up to the specified maximum number (see SSL_CTX_sess_set_cache_size()). As sessions will not be reused ones they are expired, they should be removed from the cache to save resources. This can either be done automatically whenever 255 new sessions were established (see SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb(3)).
