+=head1 NAME
+
+SSL_get_default_timeout - get default session timeout value
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include <openssl/ssl.h>
+
+ long SSL_get_default_timeout(SSL *ssl);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+SSL_get_default_timeout() returns the default timeout value assigned to
+SSL_SESSION objects negotiated for the protocol valid for B<ssl>.
+
+=head1 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
+L<SSL_CTX_set_timeout(3)|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).
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+See description.
