+=head1 NAME
+
+SSL_CTX_free - free an allocated SSL_CTX object
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include <openssl/ssl.h>
+
+ void SSL_CTX_free(SSL_CTX *ctx);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+SSL_CTX_free() decrements the reference count of B<ctx>, and removes the
+SSL_CTX object pointed to by B<ctx> and frees up the allocated memory if the
+the reference count has reached 0.
+
+It also calls the free()ing procedures for indirectly affected items, if
+applicable: the session cache, the list of ciphers, the list of Client CAs,
+the certificates and keys.
+
+=head1 WARNINGS
+
+If a session-remove callback is set (SSL_CTX_sess_set_remove_cb()), this
+callback will be called for each session being freed from B<ctx>'s
+session cache. This implies, that all corresponding sessions from an
+external session cache are removed as well. If this is not desired, the user
+should explicitly unset the callback by calling
+SSL_CTX_sess_set_remove_cb(B<ctx>, NULL) prior to calling SSL_CTX_free().
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+SSL_CTX_free() does not provide diagnostic information.
