07fcf422a1 Rename new BIO_set_shutdown_wr macro to just BIO_shutdown_wr
(it's similar to the shutdown(..., SHUT_WR) system call
for sockets).

e1b78bc64d In the name section, all the functions described shoud be enumerated.

8eec1389fb BIO_seed() and BIO_tell() were documented in two other documents,

various comments by Bodo to the lists and a bit
of source examination by me.

Dr. Stephen Henson
f50c11ca40 Ugh, BIO_find_type() cannot be passed a NULL.
Fix doc example, and fix BIO_find_type().

Fix PKCS7_verify(). It was using 'i' for both the
loop variable and the verify return value.

3b21161922 The dynamic thread API changed, and so does the documentation. 2000-06-19 15:28:36 +00:00
Richard Levitte
c79223040d Add support for dynamically created and destroyed mutexes. This will
be needed in some ENGINE code, and might serve elsewhere as well.
Note that it's implemented in such a way that the locking itself is
done through the same CRYPTO_lock function as the static locks.

WARNING: This is currently experimental and untested code (it will get
tested soon, though :-)).

05ccd698b9 RAND_load_file(..., -1) now means "read the complete file";
this is what we now use to read $RANDFILE / $HOME/.rnd.
(Previously, after 'cat'ting lots of stuff into .rnd
only the first MB would be looked at.)

Bugfix for apps/enc.c: Continue if RAND_pseudo_bytes returns 0
(only -1 is an error).

fd38fecc1a Document how CRYPTO_EX_DATA stuff works for
RSA structures. Other structures behave in
a similar way.
