Overview

CONF_modules_free() closes down and frees up all memory allocated by all configuration modules. Normally applications will only call this function at application exit to tidy up any configuration performed.

CONF_modules_finish() calls the configuration finish handler of each configuration module to free up any configuration that module may have performed.

CONF_modules_unload() finishes and unloads configuration modules. If all is set to 1, the builtin modules will be unloaded as well.

History

CONF_modules_free(), CONF_modules_finish(), and CONF_modules_unload() first appeared in OpenSSL 0.9.7 and have been available since OpenBSD 3.2.
