+=head1 NAME
+
+SSL_SESSION_get_time, SSL_SESSION_set_time, SSL_SESSION_get_timeout, SSL_SESSION_set_timeout - retrieve and manipulate session time and timeout settings
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include <openssl/ssl.h>
+
+ long SSL_SESSION_get_time(const SSL_SESSION *s);
+ long SSL_SESSION_set_time(SSL_SESSION *s, long tm);
+ long SSL_SESSION_get_timeout(const SSL_SESSION *s);
+ long SSL_SESSION_set_timeout(SSL_SESSION *s, long tm);
+
+ long SSL_get_time(const SSL_SESSION *s);
+ long SSL_set_time(SSL_SESSION *s, long tm);
+ long SSL_get_timeout(const SSL_SESSION *s);
+ long SSL_set_timeout(SSL_SESSION *s, long tm);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+SSL_SESSION_get_time() returns the time at which the session B<s> was
+established. The time is given in seconds since the Epoch and therefore
+compatible to the time delivered by the time() call.
+
+SSL_SESSION_set_time() replaces the creation time of the session B<s> with
+the chosen value B<tm>.
+
+SSL_SESSION_get_timeout() returns the timeout value set for session B<s>
+in seconds.
+
+SSL_SESSION_set_timeout() sets the timeout value for session B<s> in seconds
+to B<tm>.
+
+The SSL_get_time(), SSL_set_time(), SSL_get_timeout(), and SSL_set_timeout()
+functions are synonyms for the SSL_SESSION_*() counterparts.
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+Sessions are expired by examining the creation time and the timeout value.
+Both are set at creation time of the session to the actual time and the
+default timeout value at creation, respectively, as set by
+L<SSL_CTX_set_timeout(3)|SSL_CTX_set_timeout(3)>.
+Using these functions it is possible to extend or shorten the lifetime
+of the session.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+SSL_SESSION_get_time() and SSL_SESSION_get_timeout() return the currently
+valid values.
+
+SSL_SESSION_set_time() and SSL_SESSION_set_timeout() return 1 on success.
+
+If any of the function is passed the NULL pointer for the session B<s>,
+0 is returned.
