+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+OpenSSL can safely be used in multi-threaded applications provided
+that at least two callback functions are set.
+.PP
+locking_function(int mode, int n, const char *file, int line) is
+needed to perform locking on shared data structures.
+(Note that OpenSSL uses a number of global data structures that
+will be implicitly shared whenever multiple threads use OpenSSL.)
+Multi-threaded applications will crash at random if it is not set.
+.PP
+\&\fIlocking_function()\fR must be able to handle up to \fICRYPTO_num_locks()\fR
+different mutex locks. It sets the \fBn\fR\-th lock if \fBmode\fR &
+\&\fB\s-1CRYPTO_LOCK\s0\fR, and releases it otherwise.
+.PP
+\&\fBfile\fR and \fBline\fR are the file number of the function setting the
+lock. They can be useful for debugging.
+.PP
+id_function(void) is a function that returns a thread \s-1ID\s0. It is not
+needed on Windows nor on platforms where \fIgetpid()\fR returns a different
+\&\s-1ID\s0 for each thread (most notably Linux).
+.PP
+Additionally, OpenSSL supports dynamic locks, and sometimes, some parts
+of OpenSSL need it for better performance. To enable this, the following
+is required:
+.Ip "\(bu Three additional callback function, dyn_create_function, dyn_lock_function and dyn_destroy_function." 4
+.IX Item "Three additional callback function, dyn_create_function, dyn_lock_function and dyn_destroy_function."
+.PD 0
+.Ip "\(bu A structure defined with the data that each lock needs to handle." 4
+.IX Item "A structure defined with the data that each lock needs to handle."
+.PD
+.PP
+struct CRYPTO_dynlock_value has to be defined to contain whatever structure
+is needed to handle locks.
+.PP
+dyn_create_function(const char *file, int line) is needed to create a
+lock. Multi-threaded applications might crash at random if it is not set.
+.PP
+dyn_lock_function(int mode, CRYPTO_dynlock *l, const char *file, int line)
+is needed to perform locking off dynamic lock numbered n. Multi-threaded
+applications might crash at random if it is not set.
+.PP
+dyn_destroy_function(CRYPTO_dynlock *l, const char *file, int line) is
+needed to destroy the lock l. Multi-threaded applications might crash at
+random if it is not set.
+.PP
+\&\fICRYPTO_get_new_dynlockid()\fR is used to create locks. It will call
+dyn_create_function for the actual creation.
+.PP
+\&\fICRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()\fR is used to destroy locks. It will call
+dyn_destroy_function for the actual destruction.
+.PP
+\&\fICRYPTO_lock()\fR is used to lock and unlock the locks. mode is a bitfield
+describing what should be done with the lock. n is the number of the
+lock as returned from \fICRYPTO_get_new_dynlockid()\fR. mode can be combined
+from the following values. These values are pairwise exclusive, with
+undefined behaviour if misused (for example, \s-1CRYPTO_READ\s0 and \s-1CRYPTO_WRITE\s0
+should not be used together):
+.PP
+.Vb 4
+\& CRYPTO_LOCK 0x01
+\& CRYPTO_UNLOCK 0x02
+\& CRYPTO_READ 0x04
+\& CRYPTO_WRITE 0x08
+.Ve
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
+\&\fICRYPTO_num_locks()\fR returns the required number of locks.
+.PP
+\&\fICRYPTO_get_new_dynlockid()\fR returns the index to the newly created lock.
+.PP
+The other functions return no values.
+.SH "NOTE"
+.IX Header "NOTE"
+You can find out if OpenSSL was configured with thread support:
+.PP
+.Vb 7
+\& #define OPENSSL_THREAD_DEFINES
+\& #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
+\& #if defined(THREADS)
+\& // thread support enabled
+\& #else
+\& // no thread support
+\& #endif
+.Ve
+Also, dynamic locks are currently not used internally by OpenSSL, but
+may do so in the future.
+.SH "EXAMPLES"
+.IX Header "EXAMPLES"
+\&\fBcrypto/threads/mttest.c\fR shows examples of the callback functions on
+Solaris, Irix and Win32.
+.SH "HISTORY"
+.IX Header "HISTORY"
+\&\fICRYPTO_set_locking_callback()\fR and \fICRYPTO_set_id_callback()\fR are
+available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL.
+\&\fICRYPTO_num_locks()\fR was added in OpenSSL 0.9.4.
+All functions dealing with dynamic locks were added in OpenSSL 0.9.5b-dev.
