NAME
     SSL_free — free an allocated SSL structure

SYNOPSIS
     #include <openssl/ssl.h>

     void
     SSL_free(SSL *ssl);

DESCRIPTION
     SSL_free() decrements the reference count of ssl, and removes the SSL
     structure pointed to by ssl and frees up the allocated memory if the ref‐
     erence count has reached 0.

NOTES
     SSL_free() also calls the free(3)ing procedures for indirectly affected
     items, if applicable: the buffering BIO, the read and write BIOs, cipher
     lists specially created for this ssl, the SSL_SESSION.  Do not explicitly
     free these indirectly freed up items before or after calling SSL_free(),
     as trying to free things twice may lead to program failure.

     The ssl session has reference counts from two users: the SSL object, for
     which the reference count is removed by SSL_free() and the internal ses‐
     sion cache.  If the session is considered bad, because SSL_shutdown(3)
     was not called for the connection and SSL_set_shutdown(3) was not used to
     set the SSL_SENT_SHUTDOWN state, the session will also be removed from
     the session cache as required by RFC2246.

RETURN VALUES
     SSL_free() does not provide diagnostic information.
