SSL_dup, SSL_new, SSL_up_ref - create an SSL structure for a connection
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
SSL *SSL_dup(SSL *s); SSL *SSL_new(SSL_CTX *ctx); int SSL_up_ref(SSL *s);
SSL_new() creates a new SSL structure which is needed to hold the
data for a TLS/SSL connection. The new structure inherits the settings
of the underlying context ctx: connection method,
options, verification settings, timeout settings. An SSL structure is
reference counted. Creating an SSL structure for the first time increments
the reference count. Freeing it (using SSL_free) decrements it. When the
reference count drops to zero, any memory or resources allocated to the SSL
structure are freed.
SSL_up_ref() increments the reference count for an
existing SSL structure.
SSL_dup() duplicates an existing SSL structure into a new allocated one. All
settings are inherited from the original SSL structure. Dynamic data (i.e.
existing connection details) are not copied, the new SSL is set into an
initial accept (server) or connect (client) state.
The following return values can occur:
The creation of a new SSL structure failed. Check the error stack to find out the reason.
The return value points to an allocated SSL structure.
SSL_up_ref() returns 1 for success and 0 for failure.
