DESCRIPTION
       OpenSSL can safely be used in multi-threaded applications provided that
       at least two callback functions are set, locking_function and
       threadid_func.

       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 n-th lock if mode & CRYPTO_LOCK, and
       releases it otherwise.

       file and 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 id. The implementation of
       this callback should not fill in 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 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;

       o   CRYPTO_THREADID_current() records the currently-executing thread ID
	   into the given id object.

       o   CRYPTO_THREADID_cmp() compares two thread IDs (returning zero for
	   equality, ie.  the same semantics as memcmp()).

       o   CRYPTO_THREADID_cpy() duplicates a thread ID value,

       o   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:

       o   Three additional callback function, dyn_create_function,
	   dyn_lock_function and dyn_destroy_function.

       o   A structure defined with the data that each lock needs to handle.

       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

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.

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.

EXAMPLES
       crypto/threads/mttest.c shows examples of the callback functions on
       Solaris, Irix and Win32.

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.
       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'.
