SSL_CTX_sess_get_remove_cb, SSL_CTX_sess_get_get_cb - provide callback
       functions for server side external session caching

SYNOPSIS

        #include <openssl/ssl.h>

        void SSL_CTX_sess_set_new_cb(SSL_CTX *ctx,
                                     int (*new_session_cb)(SSL *, SSL_SESSION *));
        void SSL_CTX_sess_set_remove_cb(SSL_CTX *ctx,
                  void (*remove_session_cb)(SSL_CTX *ctx, SSL_SESSION *));
        void SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb(SSL_CTX *ctx,
                  SSL_SESSION (*get_session_cb)(SSL *, unsigned char *, int, int *));

        int (*SSL_CTX_sess_get_new_cb(SSL_CTX *ctx))(struct ssl_st *ssl, SSL_SESSION *sess);
        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);
        void (*remove_session_cb)(struct ssl_ctx_st *ctx, SSL_SESSION *sess);
        SSL_SESSION *(*get_session_cb)(struct ssl_st *ssl, unsigned char *data,
                      int len, int *copy);

DESCRIPTION

       SSL_CTX_sess_set_new_cb() sets the callback function, which is automat-
       ically called whenever a new session was negotiated.

       SSL_CTX_sess_set_remove_cb() sets the callback function, which is auto-
       matically 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_ses-
       sion_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 negoti-
       ated and session caching is enabled (see SSL_CTX_set_ses-
       sion_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 reference count is not incremented and therefore the session must
       not be explicitly freed with SSL_SESSION_free(3).
