NAME
       SSL_get_default_timeout - get default session timeout value

SYNOPSIS
	#include <openssl/ssl.h>

	long SSL_get_default_timeout(SSL *ssl);

DESCRIPTION
       SSL_get_default_timeout() returns the default timeout value assigned to SSL_SESSION objects negotiated for the protocol valid for ssl.

NOTES
       Whenever a new session is negotiated, it is assigned a timeout value, after which it will not be accepted for session reuse. If the timeout
       value was not explicitly set using SSL_CTX_set_timeout(3), the hardcoded default timeout for the protocol will be used.

       SSL_get_default_timeout() return this hardcoded value, which is 300 seconds for all currently supported protocols (SSLv2, SSLv3, and
       TLSv1).

RETURN VALUES
       See description.
