     NAME
          SSL_set_session - set a TLS/SSL session to be used during
          TLS/SSL connect

     SYNOPSIS
           #include <openssl/ssl.h>

           int SSL_set_session(SSL *ssl, SSL_SESSION *session);

     DESCRIPTION
          SSL_set_session() sets 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 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 SSL_session_reused(3) call.

          If there is already a session set inside ssl (because it was
          set with SSL_set_session() before or because the same ssl
          was already used for a connection), SSL_SESSION_free() will
          be called for that session.

     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).

     RETURN VALUES
          The following return values can occur:

          o   The operation failed; check the error stack to find out
              the reason.

          1   The operation succeeded.
