💅 SSL_GET_SSL_CTX

okay bestie so this is the SSL_GET_SSL_CTX(3ossl) page from the OpenSSL fam — yes, that's the manual section, it's giving cryptography main character energy. and honestly? it's a short one. a little snack. let's go ✨

🌸 NAME

SSL_get_SSL_CTX — get the SSL_CTX from which an SSL is created

like, you have an SSL and you want to know which SSL_CTX it came from? this function is literally the girl who remembers everyone's origin story. 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS

#include <openssl/ssl.h>

SSL_CTX *SSL_get_SSL_CTX(const SSL *ssl);

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one include, one function, no drama. 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION

SSL_get_SSL_CTX() returns a pointer to the SSL_CTX object from which ssl was created with SSL_new(3).

so basically: you hand it your SSL, it hands you back the SSL_CTX it was born from. finder of parents. keeper of receipts. no cap. 🧚

⭐ RETURN VALUES

the pointer to the SSL_CTX object is returned. that's the whole return section. she said one thing and she said it correctly. 👑
