okay bestie, we’re diving into renegotiation counters. It’s giving very specific, very useful, very “trust me, you need the exact number” energy. 💖

🌸 NAME

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <openssl/ssl.h>

long
SSL_num_renegotiations(SSL *ssl);

long
SSL_clear_num_renegotiations(SSL *ssl);

long
SSL_total_renegotiations(SSL *ssl);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so SSL_num_renegotiations() reports the number of renegotiations initiated in ssl since SSL_new(3), SSL_clear(3), or SSL_clear_num_renegotiations() was last called on that object. Basically: “how many since the last reset, bestie?” 💫

SSL_clear_num_renegotiations() does the same and additionally resets the renegotiation counter to 0. So she reports the count and wipes the slate clean. Iconic behavior, honestly. 🧚

SSL_total_renegotiations() reports the number of renegotiations initiated in ssl since SSL_new(3) or SSL_clear(3) was last called on that object.

These functions are implemented as macros. Periodt. 💅
