-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_conf=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.
