  72. .SH DESCRIPTION
  73. .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
  74. \&\fBSSL_CTX_free()\fR decrements the reference count of \fBctx\fR, and removes the
  75. SSL_CTX object pointed to by \fBctx\fR and frees up the allocated memory if the reference count has reached 0.
  76. .PP
  77. It also calls the \fBfree()\fRing procedures for indirectly affected items, if
  78. applicable: the session cache, the list of ciphers, the list of Client CAs,
  79. the certificates and keys.
  80. .PP
  81. If \fBctx\fR is NULL nothing is done.
  82. .SH WARNINGS
  83. .IX Header "WARNINGS"
  84. If a session-remove callback is set (\fBSSL_CTX_sess_set_remove_cb()\fR), this
  85. callback will be called for each session being freed from \fBctx\fR's
  86. session cache. This implies, that all corresponding sessions from an
  87. external session cache are removed as well. If this is not desired, the user
  88. should explicitly unset the callback by calling
  89. SSL_CTX_sess_set_remove_cb(\fBctx\fR, NULL) prior to calling \fBSSL_CTX_free()\fR.
