     typedef int new_func(void *parent, void *ptr, CRYPTO_EX_DATA *ad,
                    int idx, long argl, void *argp);
     typedef void free_func(void *parent, void *ptr, CRYPTO_EX_DATA *ad,
                    int idx, long argl, void *argp);
     typedef int dup_func(CRYPTO_EX_DATA *to, CRYPTO_EX_DATA *from, void *from_d,

# DESCRIPTION

Several OpenSSL structures can have application specific data attached to them. These functions are used internally by OpenSSL to manipulate application specific data attached to a specific structure.

`SSL_SESSION_get_ex_new_index()` is used to register a new index for application specific data.

`SSL_SESSION_set_ex_data()` is used to store application data at arg for idx into the session object.

`SSL_SESSION_get_ex_data()` is used to retrieve the information for idx from session.

A detailed description for the *_get_ex_new_index() functionality can be found in RSA_get_ex_new_index. The *_get_ex_data() and *_set_ex_data() functionality is described in CRYPTO_set_ex_data.

# WARNINGS

The application data is only maintained for sessions held in memory. The application data is not included when dumping the session with `i2d_SSL_SESSION()` (and all functions indirectly calling the dump functions like `PEM_write_SSL_SESSION()` and `PEM_write_bio_SSL_SESSION())` and can therefore not be restored.
