=head1 NAME
ossl_lib_ctx_get_data, ossl_lib_ctx_run_once, ossl_lib_ctx_onfree,
ossl_lib_ctx_is_child
- internal OSSL_LIB_CTX routines
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/types.h>
#include "internal/cryptlib.h"
void *ossl_lib_ctx_get_data(OSSL_LIB_CTX *ctx, int index);
int ossl_lib_ctx_run_once(OSSL_LIB_CTX *ctx, unsigned int idx,
ossl_lib_ctx_run_once_fn run_once_fn);
int ossl_lib_ctx_onfree(OSSL_LIB_CTX *ctx, ossl_lib_ctx_onfree_fn onfreefn);
int ossl_lib_ctx_is_child(OSSL_LIB_CTX *ctx);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
ossl_lib_ctx_run_once() is used to run some initialisation routine I<run_once_fn>
exactly once per library context I<ctx> object. Each initialisation routine
should be allocate a unique run once index in cryptlib.h.
Any resources allocated via a run once initialisation routine can be cleaned up
using ossl_lib_ctx_onfree(). This associates an "on free" routine I<onfreefn> with
the library context I<ctx>. When I<ctx> is freed all associated "on free"
routines are called.
ossl_lib_ctx_is_child() returns 1 if this library context is a child and 0
otherwise.
ossl_lib_ctx_get_data() allows different parts of the library to retrieve
pointers to structures used in diverse parts of the library. The lifetime of
these structures is managed by B<OSSL_LIB_CTX>. The different objects which can
be retrieved are specified with the given argument I<index>. The valid values of
I<index> are specified in cryptlib.h.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
ossl_lib_ctx_get_data() returns a pointer on success, or NULL on
failure.
=head1 EXAMPLES
=head2 Usage
To obtain a pointer for an object managed by the library context, simply do
this:
/*
* ctx is received from a caller,
*/
FOO *data = ossl_lib_ctx_get_data(ctx, OSSL_LIB_CTX_FOO_INDEX);
=head2 Run Once
void foo_cleanup(OSSL_LIB_CTX *ctx)
{
/* Free foo resources associated with ctx */
}
static ossl_lib_ctx_run_once_fn do_foo_init;
static int do_foo_init(OSSL_LIB_CTX *ctx)
{
/* Allocate and initialise some foo resources and associated with ctx */
return ossl_lib_ctx_onfree(ctx, &foo_cleanup)
}
int foo_some_function(OSSL_LIB_CTX *ctx)
{
if (!ossl_lib_ctx_run_once(ctx,
OSSL_LIB_CTX_FOO_RUN_ONCE_INDEX,
do_foo_init))
return 0;
/* Do some work using foo resources in ctx */
}
