+=head1 NAME
+
+SSL_set_session - set a TLS/SSL session to be used during TLS/SSL connect
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include <openssl/ssl.h>
+
+ int SSL_set_session(SSL *ssl, SSL_SESSION *session);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+SSL_set_session() sets B<session> to be used when the TLS/SSL connection
+is to be established. SSL_set_session() is only useful for TLS/SSL clients.
+When the session is set, the reference count of B<session> is incremented
+by 1. If the session is not reused, the reference count is decremented
+again during SSL_connect(). Whether the session was reused can be queried
+with the L<SSL_session_reused(3)|SSL_session_reused(3)> call.
+
+If there is already a session set inside B<ssl> (because it was set with
+SSL_set_session() before or because the same B<ssl> was already used for
+a connection), SSL_SESSION_free() will be called for that session.
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+SSL_SESSION objects keep internal link information about the session cache
+list, when being inserted into one SSL_CTX object's session cache.
+One SSL_SESSION object, regardless of its reference count, must therefore
+only be used with one SSL_CTX object (and the SSL objects created
+from this SSL_CTX object).
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES

+
+=over 4
