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>. +.br +Home page: https://www.gnutls.org + +.SH COPYRIGHT +Copyright \(co 2001- Free Software Foundation, Inc., and others. +.br +Copying and distribution of this file, with or without modification, +are permitted in any medium without royalty provided the copyright +notice and this notice are preserved. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +The full documentation for +.B gnutls +is maintained as a Texinfo manual. +If the /usr/share/doc/gnutls/ +directory does not contain the HTML form visit +.B +.IP https://www.gnutls.org/manual/ +.PP |
