+.Sh NAME
+.Nm dllockinit
+.Nd register thread locking methods with the dynamic linker
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <dlfcn.h>
+.Ft void
+.Fn dllockinit "const void *context" "void *(*lock_create)(void *context)" \
+"void (*rlock_acquire)(void *lock)" "void (*wlock_acquire)(void *lock)" \
+"void (*lock_release)(void *lock)" "void (*lock_destroy)(void *lock)" \
+"void (*context_destroy)(void *context)"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+Threads packages can call
+.Nm
+at initialization time to register locking functions for the dynamic
+linker to use. This enables the dynamic linker to prevent multiple
+threads from entering its critical sections simultaneously.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fa context
+parameter specifies an opaque context for creating locks. The
+dynamic linker will pass it to the
+.Fa lock_create
+function when creating the locks it needs. When the dynamic linker
+is permanently finished using the locking functions (e.g., if the
+program makes a subsequent call to
+.Nm
+to register new locking functions) it will call
+.Fa context_destroy
+to destroy the context.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fa lock_create
+parameter specifies a function for creating a read/write lock. It
+must return a pointer to the new lock.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fa rlock_acquire
+and
+.Fa wlock_acquire
+parameters specify functions which lock a lock for reading or
+writing, respectively. The
+.Fa lock_release
+parameter specifies a function which unlocks a lock. Each of these
+functions is passed a pointer to the lock.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fa lock_destroy
+parameter specifies a function to destroy a lock. It may be
+.Dv NULL
+if locks do not need to be destroyed. The
+.Fa context_destroy
+specifies a function to destroy the context. It may be
+.Dv NULL
+if the context does not need to be destroyed.
+.Pp
+Before
+.Nm
+is called, the dynamic linker protects its critical sections by
+blocking the
+.Dv SIGVTALRM ,
+.Dv SIGPROF ,
+and
+.Dv SIGALRM
+signals. This is sufficient for many application level threads
+packages, which typically use one of these signals to implement
+preemption. An application which has registered its own locking
+methods with
+.Nm
+can restore the default locking by calling
+.Nm
+with all arguments
+.Dv NULL .
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr rtld 1 ,
+.Xr signal 3
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+function first appeared in FreeBSD 4.0.
