Detailed Description

CK_C_INITIALIZE_ARGS; CK_C_INITIALIZE_ARGS_PTR

CK_C_INITIALIZE_ARGS is a structure containing the optional arguments for the C_Initialize function. For this version of Cryptoki, these optional arguments are all concerned with the way the library deals with threads. CK_C_INITIALIZE_ARGS is defined as follows:
CreateMutex pointer to a function to use for creating mutex objects
DestroyMutex pointer to a function to use for destroying mutex objects
LockMutex pointer to a function to use for locking mutex objects
UnlockMutex pointer to a function to use for unlocking mutex objects
flags bit flags specifying options for '''C_Initialize'''; the flags are defined below
pReserved reserved for future use. Should be NULL_PTR for this version of Cryptoki

The following table defines the flags field: 




 Table 14, C_Initialize Parameter Flags   
Bit Flag Mask Meaning   


CKF_LIBRARY_CANT_CREATE_OS_THREADS 0x00000001 True if application threads which are executing calls to the library may not use native operating system calls to spawn new threads; false if they may   


CKF_OS_LOCKING_OK 0x00000002 True if the library can use the native operation system threading model for locking; false otherwise  

 



CK_C_INITIALIZE_ARGS_PTR is a pointer to a CK_C_INITIALIZE_ARGS.
