gnutls_global_init - API function
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
int gnutls_global_init( void);
void
Since GnuTLS 3.3.0 this function is no longer necessary to be
explicitly called. To disable the implicit call (in a library
constructor) of this function set the environment variable
GNUTLS_NO_EXPLICIT_INIT to 1.
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.
A subsequent call of this function if the initial has failed will
return the same error code.
On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative
error code is returned.
