void (*SSL_CTX_sess_get_remove_cb(SSL_CTX *ctx))(struct ssl_ctx_st *ctx, SSL_SESSION *sess);
SSL_SESSION *(*SSL_CTX_sess_get_get_cb(SSL_CTX *ctx))(struct ssl_st *ssl, unsigned char *data, int len, int *copy);
int (*new_session_cb)(struct ssl_st *ssl, SSL_SESSION *sess);

DESCRIPTIONSSL_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
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.
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 d2i_SSL_SESSION(3) interface.
The new_session_cb() is called, whenever a new session has been
negotiated and session caching is enabled (see
SSL_CTX_set_session_cache_mode(3)). The new_session_cb() is passed the
ssl connection and the ssl session sess. If the callback returns 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 ctx and the ssl session 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
ssl connection, the session id of length length at the memory location
data. With the parameter 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 SSL_SESSION_free(3).
