Hi,

I am using openssl in a multithread application.  I find the following
descriptions in the OpenSSL FAQ file and it mentions the multithread
applications must provide 2 callback functions to OpenSSL.  Can someone
explain that in more details?  Which are the 2 callback functions?

Thanks
Patrick

* Is OpenSSL thread-safe?

Yes (with limitations: an SSL connection may not concurrently be used
by multiple threads).  On Windows and many Unix systems, OpenSSL
automatically uses the multi-threaded versions of the standard
libraries.  If your platform is not one of these, consult the INSTALL
file.

Multi-threaded applications must provide two callback functions to
OpenSSL.  This is described in the threads(3) manpage.
