-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-OpenSSL can generally be used safely in multi-threaded applications provided
-that at least two callback functions are set, the locking_function and
-threadid_func.
-Note that OpenSSL is not completely thread-safe, and unfortunately not all
-global resources have the necessary locks.
-Further, the thread-safety does not extend to things like multiple threads
-using the same B<SSL> object at the same time.
-
-locking_function(int mode, int n, const char *file, int line) is
-needed to perform locking on shared data structures.
-(Note that OpenSSL uses a number of global data structures that
-will be implicitly shared whenever multiple threads use OpenSSL.)
-Multi-threaded applications will crash at random if it is not set.
-
-locking_function() must be able to handle up to CRYPTO_num_locks()
-different mutex locks. It sets the B<n>-th lock if B<mode> &
-B<CRYPTO_LOCK>, and releases it otherwise.
-
-B<file> and B<line> are the file number of the function setting the
-lock. They can be useful for debugging.
-
-threadid_func(CRYPTO_THREADID *id) is needed to record the currently-executing
-thread's identifier into B<id>. The implementation of this callback should not
-fill in B<id> directly, but should use CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() if thread
-IDs are numeric, or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer() if they are pointer-based.
-If the application does not register such a callback using
-CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback(), then a default implementation is used - on
-Windows and BeOS this uses the system's default thread identifying APIs, and on
-all other platforms it uses the address of B<errno>. The latter is satisfactory
-for thread-safety if and only if the platform has a thread-local error number
-facility.
-
-Once threadid_func() is registered, or if the built-in default implementation is
-to be used;
-
-=over 4
-
-=item *
-CRYPTO_THREADID_current() records the currently-executing thread ID into the
-given B<id> object.
-
-=item *
-CRYPTO_THREADID_cmp() compares two thread IDs (returning zero for equality, ie.
-the same semantics as memcmp()).
-
-=item *
-CRYPTO_THREADID_cpy() duplicates a thread ID value,
-
-=item *
-CRYPTO_THREADID_hash() returns a numeric value usable as a hash-table key. This
-is usually the exact numeric or pointer-based thread ID used internally, however
-this also handles the unusual case where pointers are larger than 'long'
-variables and the platform's thread IDs are pointer-based - in this case, mixing
-is done to attempt to produce a unique numeric value even though it is not as
-wide as the platform's true thread IDs.
-

-
-Additionally, OpenSSL supports dynamic locks, and sometimes, some parts
-of OpenSSL need it for better performance. To enable this, the following
-is required:
-
-=over 4
-
-=item *
-Three additional callback function, dyn_create_function, dyn_lock_function
-and dyn_destroy_function.
-
-=item *
-A structure defined with the data that each lock needs to handle.
-
-=back
-
-struct CRYPTO_dynlock_value has to be defined to contain whatever structure
-is needed to handle locks.
-
-dyn_create_function(const char *file, int line) is needed to create a
-lock. Multi-threaded applications might crash at random if it is not set.
-
-dyn_lock_function(int mode, CRYPTO_dynlock *l, const char *file, int line)
-is needed to perform locking off dynamic lock numbered n. Multi-threaded
-applications might crash at random if it is not set.
-
-dyn_destroy_function(CRYPTO_dynlock *l, const char *file, int line) is
-needed to destroy the lock l. Multi-threaded applications might crash at
-random if it is not set.
-
-CRYPTO_get_new_dynlockid() is used to create locks. It will call
-dyn_create_function for the actual creation.
-
-CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid() is used to destroy locks. It will call
-dyn_destroy_function for the actual destruction.
-
-CRYPTO_lock() is used to lock and unlock the locks. mode is a bitfield
-describing what should be done with the lock. n is the number of the
-lock as returned from CRYPTO_get_new_dynlockid(). mode can be combined
-from the following values. These values are pairwise exclusive, with
-undefined behaviour if misused (for example, CRYPTO_READ and CRYPTO_WRITE
-should not be used together):
-
- CRYPTO_LOCK 0x01
- CRYPTO_UNLOCK 0x02
- CRYPTO_READ 0x04
- CRYPTO_WRITE 0x08
-
-=head1 RETURN VALUES
-
-CRYPTO_num_locks() returns the required number of locks.
-
-CRYPTO_get_new_dynlockid() returns the index to the newly created lock.
-
-The other functions return no values.
-
-=head1 NOTES
-
-You can find out if OpenSSL was configured with thread support:
-
- #define OPENSSL_THREAD_DEFINES
- #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
- #if defined(OPENSSL_THREADS)
- // thread support enabled
- #else
- // no thread support
- #endif
-
-Also, dynamic locks are currently not used internally by OpenSSL, but
-may do so in the future.
-
-=head1 EXAMPLES
-
-B<crypto/threads/mttest.c> shows examples of the callback functions on
-Solaris, Irix and Win32.
-
-=head1 HISTORY
-
-CRYPTO_set_locking_callback() is
-available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL.
-CRYPTO_num_locks() was added in OpenSSL 0.9.4.
-All functions dealing with dynamic locks were added in OpenSSL 0.9.5b-dev.
-B<CRYPTO_THREADID> and associated functions were introduced in OpenSSL 1.0.0
-to replace (actually, deprecate) the previous CRYPTO_set_id_callback(),
-CRYPTO_get_id_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_id() functions which assumed
-thread IDs to always be represented by 'unsigned long'.
