gnutls_global_init — API function
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
int
gnutls_global_init( |
void); |
This function performs any required precalculations,
detects the supported 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.
Since GnuTLS 3.3.0 this function is only required in systems that do not support library constructors and static linking. This function also became thread safe.
The full documentation for gnutls is maintained as a Texinfo manual. If the /usr/share/doc/gnutls/ directory does not contain the HTML form visit
