OPENSSL_CTX, OPENSSL_CTX_new, OPENSSL_CTX_free - OpenSSL library context
#include <openssl/crypto.h>
typedef struct openssl_ctx_st OPENSSL_CTX;
OPENSSL_CTX *OPENSSL_CTX_new(void); void OPENSSL_CTX_free(OPENSSL_CTX *ctx);
OPENSSL_CTX
is an internal OpenSSL library context type.
Applications may allocate their own, but may also use NULL
to use
the internal default context with functions that take a OPENSSL_CTX
argument.
OPENSSL_CTX_new()
creates a new OpenSSL library context.
When a non default library context is in use care should be taken with
multi-threaded applications to properly clean up thread local resources before
the OPENSSL_CTX is freed.
See OPENSSL_thread_stop_ex(3) for more information.
OPENSSL_CTX_free()
frees the given ctx
.
OPENSSL_CTX_new()
return a library context pointer on success, or
NULL
on error.
OPENSSL_CTX_free()
doesn't return any value.
OPENSSL_CTX, OPENSSL_CTX_new()
and OPENSSL_CTX_free()
were added in OpenSSL 3.0.
