                    int idx, long argl, void *argp);
     typedef void free_func(void *parent, void *ptr, CRYPTO_EX_DATA *ad,
                    int idx, long argl, void *argp);
     typedef int dup_func(CRYPTO_EX_DATA *to, CRYPTO_EX_DATA *from, void *from_d,

DESCRIPTION
Several OpenSSL structures can have application specific data attached to them. These functions are used internally by OpenSSL to manipulate application specific data attached to a specific structure.

SSL_CTX_get_ex_new_index() is used to register a new index for application specific data.

SSL_CTX_set_ex_data() is used to store application data at arg for idx into the ctx object.

SSL_CTX_get_ex_data() is used to retrieve the information for idx from ctx.

A detailed description for the *_get_ex_new_index() functionality can be found in RSA_get_ex_new_index(3). The *_get_ex_data() and *_set_ex_data() functionality is described in CRYPTO_set_ex_data(3).

HISTORY
SSL_CTX_get_ex_new_index(), SSL_CTX_set_ex_data(), and SSL_CTX_get_ex_data() first appeared in SSLeay 0.9.0 and have been available since OpenBSD 2.4.
