.. Set up some character translations and predefined strings. \*(-- will
give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left
double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. \*(C+ will
give a nicer C++. Capital omega is used to do unbreakable dashes and
therefore won't be available. \*(C` and \*(C' expand to `' in nroff,
nothing in troff, for use with C<>.

Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is turned on, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

way too many mistakes in technical documents.
"NAME"
SSL_CTX_flush_sessions, SSL_flush_sessions - remove expired sessions

"DESCRIPTION"
Header "DESCRIPTION" \fISSL_CTX_flush_sessions() causes a run through the session cache of \fBctx to remove sessions expired at time tm.

\fISSL_flush_sessions() is a synonym for SSL_CTX_flush_sessions().

"NOTES"
Header "NOTES" If enabled, the internal session cache will collect all sessions established up to the specified maximum number (see SSL_CTX_sess_set_cache_size()). As sessions will not be reused ones they are expired, they should be removed from the cache to save resources. This can either be done automatically whenever 255 new sessions were established (see \fISSL_CTX_set_session_cache_mode\|(3)) or manually by calling SSL_CTX_flush_sessions().

The parameter tm specifies the time which should be used for the expiration test, in most cases the actual time given by time\|(0) will be used.

\fISSL_CTX_flush_sessions() will only check sessions stored in the internal cache. When a session is found and removed, the remove_session_cb is however called to synchronize with the external cache (see \fISSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb\|(3)).
