SSL_SESSION_IS_RESUMABLE(3SSL)

πŸ’… SSL_SESSION_IS_RESUMABLE πŸ’…

okay bestie, welcome to the SSL_SESSION_IS_RESUMABLE(3SSL) page β€” yes that's the manual name, no I'm not going to make a whole header line about it, we're just gonna vibe.


✨ NAME ✨

SSL_SESSION_is_resumable β€” the lil function that tells you whether an SSL_SESSION object can be used for resumption 🫢


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <openssl/ssl.h>

int SSL_SESSION_is_resumable(const SSL_SESSION *s);

like that's it. one line. one function. iconic behavior only πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so SSL_SESSION_is_resumable() does exactly what it says on the tin, no cap: it determines whether an SSL_SESSION object can be used to resume a session or not.

  • returns 1 β†’ bestie, you can resume, slay ✨
  • returns 0 β†’ nope, not resumable πŸ™ˆ
⚠️ also super important: attempting to resume with a non-resumable session will result in a full handshake. so like, the vibe check fails and you do the whole thing over. not the end of the world, just so you know. πŸ’€

πŸ‘‘ RETURN VALUES πŸ‘‘

SSL_SESSION_is_resumable() returns 1 if the session is resumable, or 0 otherwise. that's the whole menu, no in-between, no "maybe". main character energy πŸŽ€
