  75. .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
  76. \&\fBSSL_new()\fR creates a new \fBSSL\fR structure which is needed to hold the
  77. data for a TLS/SSL connection. The new structure inherits the settings
  78. of the underlying context \fBctx\fR: connection method,
  79. options, verification settings, timeout settings. An \fBSSL\fR structure is
  80. reference counted. Creating an \fBSSL\fR structure for the first time increments
  81. the reference count. Freeing it (using SSL_free) decrements it. When the
  82. reference count drops to zero, any memory or resources allocated to the \fBSSL\fR
  83. structure are freed.
  84. .PP
  85. \&\fBSSL_up_ref()\fR increments the reference count for an
  86. existing \fBSSL\fR structure.
  87. .PP
  88. The function \fBSSL_dup()\fR creates and returns a new \fBSSL\fR structure from the same
  89. \&\fBSSL_CTX\fR that was used to create \fIs\fR. It additionally duplicates a subset of
  90. the settings in \fIs\fR into the new \fBSSL\fR object.
  91. .PP
  92. For \fBSSL_dup()\fR to work, the connection MUST be in its initial state and
  93. MUST NOT have yet started the SSL handshake. For connections that are not in
  94. their initial state \fBSSL_dup()\fR just increments an internal
  95. reference count and returns the \fIsame\fR handle. It may be possible to
  96. use \fBSSL_clear\fR\|(3) to recycle an SSL handle that is not in its initial
  97. state for reuse, but this is best avoided. Instead, save and restore
  98. the session, if desired, and construct a fresh handle for each connection.
  99. .PP
