<CODE>SSL_CTX_sessions()</CODE> returns a pointer to the lhash databases
containing the internal session cache for <STRONG>ctx</STRONG>.

<P>
The sessions in the internal session cache are kept in an
<A HREF="../crypto/lhash.html#">lhash(3)</A> type database. It is possible to directly access this database e.g. for
searching. In parallel, the sessions form a linked list which is maintained
separately from the
<A HREF="../crypto/lhash.html#">lhash(3)</A> operations, so that the database must not be modified directly but by using
the
<A HREF="../ssl/SSL_CTX_add_session.html#">SSL_CTX_add_session(3)</A> family of functions.
