Therefore, the caller should treat this shared object as * read-only and should not modify this shared object. When done using the * shared object, the caller should release the reference to the object by * using the PKIX_PL_Object_DecRef function. * * While a function is executing, if its arguments (or anything referred to by * its arguments) are modified, free'd, or destroyed, the function's behavior * is undefined. * */ /* * FUNCTION: PKIX_Initialize * DESCRIPTION: * * No PKIX_* types and functions should be used before this function is called * and returns successfully. This function should only be called once. If it * is called more than once, the behavior is undefined. * * NSS applications are expected to call NSS_Init, and need not know that * NSS will call this function (with "platformInitNeeded" set to PKIX_FALSE). * PKIX applications are expected instead to call this function with * "platformInitNeeded" set to PKIX_TRUE. * * This function initializes data structures critical to the operation of * libpkix. It also ensures that the API version (major.minor) desired by the * caller (the "desiredMajorVersion", "minDesiredMinorVersion", and * "maxDesiredMinorVersion") is compatible with the API version supported by * the library. As such, the library must support the "desiredMajorVersion" * of the API and must support a minor version that falls between * "minDesiredMinorVersion" and "maxDesiredMinorVersion", inclusive. If * compatibility exists, the function returns NULL and stores the library's * actual minor version at "pActualMinorVersion" (which may be greater than * "desiredMinorVersion"). If no compatibility exists, the function returns a * PKIX_Error pointer. If the caller wishes to specify that the largest * minor version available should be used, then maxDesiredMinorVersion should * be set to the macro PKIX_MAX_MINOR_VERSION (defined in pkixt.h). * * PARAMETERS: * "platformInitNeeded" * Boolean indicating whether the platform layer initialization code * has previously been run, or should be called from this function. * "desiredMajorVersion" * The major version of the libpkix API the application wishes to use. * "minDesiredMinorVersion" * The minimum minor version of the libpkix API the application wishes * to use. * "maxDesiredMinorVersion" * The maximum minor version of the libpkix API the application wishes * to use. * "pActualMinorVersion" * Address where PKIX_UInt32 will be stored.
