-WARNING WARNING WARNING!!!
-
-This stuff is experimental, may change radically or be deleted altogether
-before OpenSSL 0.9.7 release. You have been warned!
-
-Configuration modules. These are a set of modules which can perform
-various configuration functions.
-
-Currently the routines should be called at most once when an application
-starts up: that is before it starts any threads.
-
-The routines read a configuration file set up like this:
-
------
-#default section
-openssl_init=init_section
-
-[init_section]
-
-module1=value1
-#Second instance of module1
-module1.1=valueX
-module2=value2
-module3=dso_literal
-module4=dso_section
-
-[dso_section]
-
-path=/some/path/to/some/dso.so
-other_stuff=other_value
-----
-
-When this file is loaded a configuration module with the specified
-string (module* in the above example) is looked up and its init
-function called as:
-
-int conf_init_func(CONF_IMODULE *md, CONF *cnf);
-
-The function can then take whatever action is appropriate, for example
-further lookups based on the value. Multiple instances of the same
-config module can be loaded.
-
-When the application closes down the modules are cleaned up by calling
-an optional finish function:
-
-void conf_finish_func(CONF_IMODULE *md);
-
-The finish functions are called in reverse order: that is the last module
-loaded is the first one cleaned up.
-
-If no module exists with a given name then an attempt is made to load
-a DSO with the supplied name. This might mean that "module3" attempts
-to load a DSO called libmodule3.so or module3.dll for example. An explicit
-DSO name can be given by including a separate section as in the module4 example
-above.
-
-The DSO is expected to at least contain an initialization function:
-
-int OPENSSL_init(CONF_IMODULE *md, CONF *cnf);
-
-and may also include a finish function:
-
-void OPENSSL_finish(CONF_IMODULE *md);
-
-Static modules can also be added using,
-
-int CONF_module_add(char *name, dso_mod_init_func *ifunc, dso_mod_finish_func *ffunc);
-
-where "name" is the name in the configuration file this function corresponds to.
-
-A set of builtin modules (currently only an ASN1 non functional test module) can be
-added by calling OPENSSL_load_builtin_modules().
-
-The function OPENSSL_config() is intended as a simple configuration function that
-any application can call to perform various default configuration tasks. It uses the
-file openssl.cnf in the usual locations.
