NAME
gnutls_global_init - API function
SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
int gnutls_global_init( void);
ARGUMENTS
void
DESCRIPTION
This function performs any required precalculations, detects the sup‐
ported CPU capabilities and initializes the underlying cryptographic
backend. In order to free any resources taken by this call you should
gnutls_global_deinit() when gnutls usage is no longer needed.
This function increments a global counter, so that
gnutls_global_deinit() only releases resources when it has been called
as many times as gnutls_global_init(). This is useful when GnuTLS is
used by more than one library in an application. This function can be
called many times, but will only do something the first time.
Note! This function is not thread safe. If two threads call this
function simultaneously, they can cause a race between checking the
global counter and incrementing it, causing both threads to execute the
library initialization code. That would lead to a memory leak. To
handle this, your application could invoke this function after aquiring
a thread mutex. To ignore the potential memory leak is also an option.
RETURNS
On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative
error code is returned.
