+=head1 NAME
+
+SSL_CTX_sessions - access internal session cache
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include <openssl/ssl.h>
+
+ struct lhash_st *SSL_CTX_sessions(SSL_CTX *ctx);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+SSL_CTX_sessions() returns a pointer to the lhash databases containing the
+internal session cache for B<ctx>.
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+The sessions in the internal session cache are kept in an
+L<lhash(3)|lhash(3)> 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
+L<lhash(3)|lhash(3)> operations, so that the database must not be
+modified directly but by using the
+L<SSL_CTX_add_session(3)|SSL_CTX_add_session(3)> family of functions.
