+.TH "gnutls_global_init" 3 "3.7.9" "gnutls" "gnutls"
+.SH NAME
+gnutls_global_init \- API function
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
+.sp
+.BI "int gnutls_global_init( " void ");"
+.SH ARGUMENTS
+.IP " void" 12
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+
+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 \fBGNUTLS_NO_IMPLICIT_INIT\fP 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 \fBgnutls_global_deinit()\fP 
+when gnutls usage is no longer needed.
+
+This function increments a global counter, so that
+\fBgnutls_global_deinit()\fP only releases resources when it has been
+called as many times as \fBgnutls_global_init()\fP.  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. It is thread safe since GnuTLS 3.3.0.
+
+A subsequent call of this function if the initial has failed will
+return the same error code.
+.SH "RETURNS"
+On success, \fBGNUTLS_E_SUCCESS\fP (0) is returned,
+otherwise a negative error code is returned.
+.SH "REPORTING BUGS"
+Report bugs to <bugs@gnutls.org>.
