DESCRIPTION

These functions are obsolete.

CRYPTO_THREADID_current() stores a unique identifier of the currently executing thread into the opaque object id.

CRYPTO_THREADID_cpy() copies the contents of src to dest.

CRYPTO_lock() locks or unlocks a mutex lock.

mode is a bitfield describing what should be done with the lock. For each call, either CRYPTO_LOCK or CRYPTO_UNLOCK must be included. In the LibreSSL implementation, CRYPTO_READ and CRYPTO_WRITE are ignored.

type is a number in the range 0 <= type < CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS identifying a particular lock. Currently, the value of CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS is 41.

The file and line arguments are ignored.

In the LibreSSL implementation, CRYPTO_lock() is a wrapper around pthread_mutex_lock(3) and pthread_mutex_unlock(3).

CRYPTO_add() locks the lock number type, adds amount to *p, and unlocks the lock number type again.

RETURN VALUES

CRYPTO_THREADID_cmp() returns 0 if a and b refer to the same thread or a non-zero value otherwise.

CRYPTO_THREADID_hash() returns a numeric value usable as a hash-table key. In the LibreSSL implementation, it is the value returned from pthread_self(3) for the thread id.

CRYPTO_add() returns the new value of *p.
