CRYPTO_set_ex_data(3SSL) OpenSSL CRYPTO_set_ex_data(3SSL)NAME
CRYPTO_set_ex_data, CRYPTO_get_ex_data - internal application specific data functions
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/crypto.h>
int CRYPTO_set_ex_data(CRYPTO_EX_DATA *r, int idx, void *arg);
void *CRYPTO_get_ex_data(CRYPTO_EX_DATA *r, int idx);
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.
These functions should only be used by applications to manipulate CRYPTO_EX_DATA structures passed to the new_func(), free_func() and
dup_func() callbacks: as passed to RSA_get_ex_new_index() for example.
CRYPTO_set_ex_data() is used to set application specific data, the data is supplied in the arg parameter and its precise meaning is up to
the application.
CRYPTO_get_ex_data() is used to retrieve application specific data. The data is returned to the application, this will be the same value as
supplied to a previous CRYPTO_set_ex_data() call.
RETURN VALUES
CRYPTO_set_ex_data() returns 1 on success or 0 on failure.
CRYPTO_get_ex_data() returns the application data or 0 on failure. 0 may also be valid application data but currently it can only fail if
given an invalid idx parameter.
On failure an error code can be obtained from ERR_get_error(3).
SEE ALSO RSA_get_ex_new_index(3), DSA_get_ex_new_index(3), DH_get_ex_new_index(3)HISTORY
CRYPTO_set_ex_data() and CRYPTO_get_ex_data() have been available since SSLeay 0.9.0.

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.
# When the shell exits, append to the history file instead of overwriting it
