<p>SSL_dup, SSL_new, SSL_up_ref - create an SSL structure for a connection</p>

<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>

<pre><code> #include &lt;openssl/ssl.h&gt;

SSL *SSL_dup(SSL *s);
 SSL *SSL_new(SSL_CTX *ctx);
 int SSL_up_ref(SSL *s);</code></pre>

<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>

<p>SSL_new() creates a new <b>SSL</b> structure which is needed to hold the data for a TLS/SSL connection. The new structure inherits the settings of the underlying context <b>ctx</b>: connection method, options, verification settings, timeout settings. An <b>SSL</b> structure is reference counted. Creating an <b>SSL</b> 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 <b>SSL</b> structure are freed.</p>

<p>SSL_up_ref() increments the reference count for an existing <b>SSL</b> structure.</p>

<p>The function SSL_dup() creates and returns a new <b>SSL</b> structure from the same <b>SSL_CTX</b> that was used to create <i>s</i>. It additionally duplicates a subset of the settings in <i>s</i> into the new <b>SSL</b> object.</p>

<p>For SSL_dup() to work, the connection MUST be in its initial state and MUST NOT have yet started the SSL handshake. For connections that are not in their initial state SSL_dup() just increments an internal reference count and returns the <i>same</i> handle. It may be possible to use <a href="../man3/SSL_clear.html">SSL_clear(3)</a> to recycle an SSL handle that is not in its initial state for re-use, but this is best avoided. Instead, save and restore the session, if desired, and construct a fresh handle for each connection.</p>

<p>The subset of settings in <i>s</i> that are duplicated are:</p>
