=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
During normal operation OpenSSL (libcrypto) will allocate various resources at
|
|
start up that must, subsequently, be freed on close down of the library.
|
|
Additionally some resources are allocated on a per thread basis (if the
|
|
application is multi-threaded), and these resources must be freed prior to the
|
|
thread closing.
|
|
|
|
As of version 1.1.0 OpenSSL will automatically allocate all resources that it
|
|
needs so no explicit initialisation is required. Similarly it will also
|
|
automatically deinitialise as required.
|
|
|
|
However, there way be situations when explicit initialisation is desirable or
|
|
needed, for example when some non-default initialisation is required. The
|
|
function OPENSSL_init_crypto() can be used for this purpose for
|
|
libcrypto (see also L<OPENSSL_init_ssl(3)> for the libssl
|
|
equivalent).
|
|
|
|
Numerous internal OpenSSL functions call OPENSSL_init_crypto().
|
|
Therefore, in order to perform non-default initialisation,
|
|
OPENSSL_init_crypto() MUST be called by application code prior to
|
|
any other OpenSSL function calls.
|
|
|
|
The B<opts> parameter specifies which aspects of libcrypto should be
|
|
initialised. Valid options are:
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item OPENSSL_INIT_NO_LOAD_CRYPTO_STRINGS
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
=item OPENSSL_INIT_LOAD_CRYPTO_STRINGS
|
|
|
|
Automatic loading of the libcrypto error strings. With this option the
|
|
library will automatically load the libcrypto error strings.
|
|
This option is a default option. Once selected subsequent calls to
|
|
OPENSSL_init_crypto() with the option
|
|
B<OPENSSL_INIT_NO_LOAD_CRYPTO_STRINGS> will be ignored.
|
|
|
|
=item OPENSSL_INIT_ADD_ALL_CIPHERS
|
|
|
|
With this option the library will automatically load and make available all
|
|
libcrypto ciphers. This option is a default option. Once selected subsequent
|
|
calls to OPENSSL_init_crypto() with the option
|
|
B<OPENSSL_INIT_NO_ADD_ALL_CIPHERS> will be ignored.
|
|
|
|
=item OPENSSL_INIT_ADD_ALL_DIGESTS
|
|
|
|
With this option the library will automatically load and make available all
|
|
libcrypto digests. This option is a default option. Once selected subsequent
|
|
calls to OPENSSL_init_crypto() with the option
|
|
B<OPENSSL_INIT_NO_ADD_ALL_CIPHERS> will be ignored.
|
|
|
|
=item OPENSSL_INIT_NO_ADD_ALL_CIPHERS
|
|
|
|
With this option the library will suppress automatic loading of libcrypto
|
|
ciphers. This option is not a default option. Once selected subsequent
|
|
calls to OPENSSL_init_crypto() with the option
|
|
B<OPENSSL_INIT_ADD_ALL_CIPHERS> will be ignored.
|
|
|
|
=item OPENSSL_INIT_NO_ADD_ALL_DIGESTS
|
|
|
|
With this option the library will suppress automatic loading of libcrypto
|
|
digests. This option is not a default option. Once selected subsequent
|
|
calls to OPENSSL_init_crypto() with the option
|
|
B<OPENSSL_INIT_ADD_ALL_DIGESTS> will be ignored.
|
|
|
|
=item OPENSSL_INIT_LOAD_CONFIG
|
|
|
|
With this option an OpenSSL configuration file will be automatically loaded and
|
|
used by calling OPENSSL_config(). This is not a default option.
|
|
See the description of OPENSSL_INIT_new(), below.
|
|
|
|
=item OPENSSL_INIT_NO_LOAD_CONFIG
|
|
|
|
With this option the loading of OpenSSL configuration files will be suppressed.

|
It is the equivalent of calling OPENSSL_no_config(). This is not a default
|
|
option.
|
|
|
|
=item OPENSSL_INIT_ASYNC
|
|
|
|
With this option the library with automatically initialise the libcrypto async
|
|
sub-library (see L<ASYNC_start_job(3)>). This is a default option.
|
|

|
|
dynamic engine. This not a default option.
|
|
|
|
=item OPENSSL_INIT_ENGINE_OPENSSL

|
|
openssl engine. This not a default option.
|
|
|
|
=item OPENSSL_INIT_ENGINE_CRYPTODEV

|
|
CAPI engine (if available). This not a default option.
|
|
|
|
=item OPENSSL_INIT_ENGINE_PADLOCK
|
|
|
|
With this option the library will automatically load and initialise the
|
|
padlock engine (if available). This not a default option.
|
|
|
|
=item OPENSSL_INIT_ENGINE_DASYNC
|
|
|
|
With this option the library will automatically load and initialise the
|
|
DASYNC engine. This not a default option.
|
|
|
|
=item OPENSSL_INIT_ENGINE_ALL_BUILTIN
|
|
|
|
With this option the library will automatically load and initialise all the
|
|
built in engines listed above with the exception of the openssl and dasync
|
|
engines. This not a default option.
|
|
|
|
=item OPENSSL_INIT_ATFORK

|
|
See OPENSSL_fork_prepare(3) for details.
|
|
|
|
=back
|
|
|
|
Multiple options may be combined together in a single call to
|
|
OPENSSL_init_crypto(). For example:
|
|
|
|
OPENSSL_init_crypto(OPENSSL_INIT_NO_ADD_ALL_CIPHERS
|
|
| OPENSSL_INIT_NO_ADD_ALL_DIGESTS, NULL);
|
|
|
|
The OPENSSL_cleanup() function deinitialises OpenSSL (both libcrypto
|
|
and libssl). All resources allocated by OpenSSL are freed. Typically there
|
|
should be no need to call this function directly as it is initiated
|
|
automatically on application exit. This is done via the standard C library
|
|
atexit() function. In the event that the application will close in a manner
|
|
that will not call the registered atexit() handlers then the application should
|
|
call OPENSSL_cleanup() directly. Developers of libraries using OpenSSL
|
|
are discouraged from calling this function and should instead, typically, rely
|
|
on auto-deinitialisation. This is to avoid error conditions where both an
|
|
application and a library it depends on both use OpenSSL, and the library
|
|
deinitialises it before the application has finished using it.
|
|
|
|
Once OPENSSL_cleanup() has been called the library cannot be reinitialised.
|
|
Attempts to call OPENSSL_init_crypto() will fail and an ERR_R_INIT_FAIL error
|
|
will be added to the error stack. Note that because initialisation has failed
|
|
OpenSSL error strings will not be available, only an error code. This code can
|
|
be put through the openssl errstr command line application to produce a human
|
|
readable error (see L<errstr(1)>).
|
|
|
|
The OPENSSL_atexit() function enables the registration of a
|
|
function to be called during OPENSSL_cleanup(). Stop handlers are
|
|
called after deinitialisation of resources local to a thread, but before other
|
|
process wide resources are freed. In the event that multiple stop handlers are
|
|
registered, no guarantees are made about the order of execution.
|
|
|
|
The OPENSSL_thread_stop() function deallocates resources associated
|
|
with the current thread. Typically this function will be called automatically by
|
|
the library when the thread exits. This should only be called directly if
|
|
resources should be freed at an earlier time, or under the circumstances
|
|
described in the NOTES section below.
|
|
|
|
The B<OPENSSL_INIT_LOAD_CONFIG> flag will load a default configuration
|
|
file. To specify a different file, an B<OPENSSL_INIT_SETTINGS> must
|
|
be created and used. The routines
|
|
OPENSSL_INIT_new() and OPENSSL_INIT_set_config_appname() can be used to
|
|
allocate the object and set the application name, and then the
|
|
object can be released with OPENSSL_INIT_free() when done.
|
|
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
|
|
|
Resources local to a thread are deallocated automatically when the thread exits
|
|
(e.g. in a pthreads environment, when pthread_exit() is called). On Windows
|
|
platforms this is done in response to a DLL_THREAD_DETACH message being sent to
|
|
the libcrypto32.dll entry point. Some windows functions may cause threads to exit
|
|
without sending this message (for example ExitProcess()). If the application
|
|
uses such functions, then the application must free up OpenSSL resources
|
|
directly via a call to OPENSSL_thread_stop() on each thread. Similarly this
|
|
message will also not be sent if OpenSSL is linked statically, and therefore
|
|
applications using static linking should also call OPENSSL_thread_stop() on each
|
|
thread. Additionally if OpenSSL is loaded dynamically via LoadLibrary() and the
|
|
threads are not destroyed until after FreeLibrary() is called then each thread
|
|
should call OPENSSL_thread_stop() prior to the FreeLibrary() call.
|
|
|
|
On Linux/Unix where OpenSSL has been loaded via dlopen() and the application is
|
|
multi-threaded and if dlclose() is subsequently called prior to the threads
|
|
being destroyed then OpenSSL will not be able to deallocate resources associated
|
|
with those threads. The application should either call OPENSSL_thread_stop() on
|
|
each thread prior to the dlclose() call, or alternatively the original dlopen()
|
|
call should use the RTLD_NODELETE flag (where available on the platform).
