=pod =head1 NAME SSL_clear - reset SSL object to allow another connection =head1 SYNOPSIS #include <openssl/ssl.h> int SSL_clear(SSL *ssl); =head1 DESCRIPTION Reset B<ssl> to allow another connection. All settings (method, ciphers, BIOs) are kept. =head1 NOTES SSL_clear is used to prepare an SSL object for a new connection. While all settings are kept, a side effect is the handling of the current SSL session. If a session is still B<open>, it is considered bad and will be removed from the session cache, as required by RFC2246. A session is considered open, if L<SSL_shutdown(3)|SSL_shutdown(3)> was not called for the connection or at least L<SSL_set_shutdown(3)|SSL_set_shutdown(3)> was used to set the SSL_SENT_SHUTDOWN state. =head1 RETURN VALUES The following return values can occur: =over 4 =item 0 The SSL_clear() operation could not be performed. Check the error stack to find out the reason. =item 1 The SSL_clear() operation was successful. =back L<SSL_new(3)|SSL_new(3)>, L<SSL_free(3)|SSL_free(3)>, L<SSL_shutdown(3)|SSL_shutdown(3)>, L<SSL_set_shutdown(3)|SSL_set_shutdown(3)>, L<SSL_CTX_set_options(3)|SSL_CTX_set_options(3)>, L<ssl(3)|ssl(3)> =cut
